Chapter 265

Qing Xia sighed slowly, only feeling a lingering powerlessness attacking her heart. Looking at the misty lake water leisurely, she said lightly: "Chu Li, I don't want you to go, and I don't agree with you to go. There are too many people in this business. The variables and dangers beyond my control, I am really afraid that if something happens to you, I will be powerless, I can only watch helplessly, but I will not be able to save you."

Chu Li was slightly moved, his eyes were dark, and he was hiding his expression. He was about to speak, but suddenly something seemed to hit the hull of the boat, and it shook for a while. After a while, he calmed down.

Qingxia leaned forward slightly, was caught by Chu Li, raised her head slightly, her eyes were like water, looked at him quietly, and said: "Chu Li, I will not stop you, nor stop you, but you If you really want to go, take me with you. I have wandered in the desert for many years, and I know deserts and grasslands very well. The matter of the Southeast China Sea ban is on track, and I am no longer needed. Maybe, I will follow you, If something happens, I can help you."

Chu Li frowned, grasped Qing Xia's hand tightly, and called out softly with a slightly hoarse voice: "Qing Xia..."

"Otherwise, let me go." Qing Xia looked at Chu Li, and said slowly: "In my life, I can be your vanguard, plan behind the scenes for you, and give up my life to keep you. If not, Just let me go and let me continue to look for him until the day when I am old and can no longer walk. I would rather deafen my ears and eyes and die on the road of searching for the flames than watch to hear the news of your failure."

"No!" Chu Li suddenly said in a deep voice, tightly holding Qing Xia's hand, and raising it to his chest, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the kingly aura around him immediately dissipated.

"That being the case," the woman's eyes suddenly brightened like stars, she was as cunning as a cat, and the corners of her mouth twitched lightly, and she said word by word: "As I wish, take me with you."

In the evening, Qingxia and others had dinner in Zuifenglou, the koi here is the best in the area, a few people reserved a flower hall on the second floor by the water, Le Song, Song Yang and others did not dare to sit at the same table with the emperor, All dine in the side hall.Qing Xia and Chu Li were the only two at the huge table, drinking scented tea while waiting for the food to be served.

At this time, a burst of mellow fragrance suddenly floated up from afar, Qing Xia had the sharpest nose, poked her head out, and saw colorful lights hanging high in the Eastern Repulse Bay, before it was dark, it was already a colorful and splendid color.It happened that Xiao Er came in to serve food, Song Yang and Le Song all followed when they saw outsiders coming in to escort them, Qing Xia didn't shy away, grabbed Xiao Er and said, "Brother Xiao Er, what are you doing over there? Why is it so lively?"

The shop waiter is only seventeen or eighteen years old, fair-skinned, a bit handsome, saw Qing Xia and said with a smile: "This young master is a stranger, this is the annual rich day in Haishi. "

"Fighting the rich?" Qing Xia frowned, and said with interest: "What is fighting the rich?"

"There are many families along the coast, and there are countless rich and famous families. Every year, the jellyfish festival is a day for every family to fight for wealth. Over there is Master Tao Shijie of the Tao family. This year, the name is called drunk carp. From the morning, we will go to the Taichang Pond. It has been a busy day for 30 years of carving and aging. My son is lucky today, not only can he eat the famous braised koi carp, but he can also taste the aged wine from Mr. Tao’s house.”

Qing Xia chuckled, turned her head and said to Chu Li: "This custom is interesting, but it's too wasteful. I've heard that the rich and powerful people in the southeast are really extraordinary."

The shop clerk answered, "Where is this? The ones who appear first every year are not really big players. This Mr. Tao didn't have the chance to participate at all last year. Young master, wait a moment, wait until Haicheng Sancai arrives, then That’s what it means to be truly wealthy.”

"Sea City Three Colors?"

"Xia Qinghou, king of Xiayi with Liuli Cai, Liu Meishuang, a big household in Haiyan with Baiyin Cai, and Jin Shaohuang, steward of the emperor with Huang Jincai, are also known as the three colors of Haicheng."

Chu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "The emperor's housekeeper? What do you mean?"

Seeing Chu Li's extraordinary demeanor, the waiter in the shop said, "The Xia family and the Liu family, as the proverb says, one started with ships, and the other was in the sea salt business. But Jin Shaohuang and Mr. Jin are the richest in the world. There are countless commerce, horses, fishing boats, sea salt, food, medicine, silk, banks, inns, and restaurants. Even the countries in the Western Regions in the western desert, North Korea, Ryukyu and other places on the sea have the money business of the Jin family. During a severe drought, the emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty had to personally borrow food from the Jin family to survive the disaster year. The first stop of the ocean-going merchants was not to go to the government, but to bribe the Jin family’s concierge housekeeper. If it is business, it will definitely return with full rewards.”

Qing Xia was startled, and said in disbelief: "You mean, in the eyes of foreigners, the officials of the Eastern Qi Dynasty were not as good as this Jin Shaohuang family's butler concierge?"

"It's not just in the past," the waiter in the shop became happier as he talked, gossiping, "Even now, the Jin family is the granary and the god of wealth in the southeast. The emperor worked so hard to save the grain and grass treasury. Dissatisfied."

Qing Xia turned her head and saw that Chu Li's expression was unkind, she quickly said to Xiao Er: "Okay, it's none of your business, go down."

Xiaoer agreed and withdrew.

Chu Li suddenly chuckled, picked up the wine glass on the table with his slender fingers, shook it in front of his nose, did not drink it, and said in a flat voice: "The steward of the emperor, rich as a country, I would like to see this Jin Shaohuang gone."

Qing Xia nodded and said: "These people are really messing around, what are they doing to fight for wealth, the people affected by the disaster can't eat there, they still have time to feed fish and drink here. Chu Li, I support you to steal their money and copy their money. Home, hum, I have business in North Korea and Ryukyu, I want to see if it is so exaggerated."

Just as I was talking, suddenly there was a bang outside, the sky was full of fireworks, brightly flickering, Qingxia and the others gathered in front of the window, and heard the people outside shouting: "Master Lu is rewarding gold leaves!"

Looking up at the sky, I saw that among the fireworks, there were gold and gold foils floating all over the sky, flying scatteredly in the sky.The people below are looking up, ready to grab the gold leaf.

Qingxia was on the second floor, and she quickly reached out her hand, and she immediately grabbed a golden leaf.The woman shouted excitedly, turned around and asked, shaking her head, "What's the name of this?"

Le Song spread his hands and said, "The goddess scattered flowers?"

Qing Xia laughed and said: "It's wrong, it means that if there is a way to heaven, he will not go, and there is no way to hell to come in. My lord was worried about which big family should be attacked, and they sent them to the door instead."

After all, he jumped up, pulled Chu Li and said, "Chu Li, we don't have any food, let's go out and see which one is so rich and powerful, and record it properly. Tomorrow, my lord is going to rob the door. This group of people who are full A bastard who has nothing to do, since he is so rich, he will help Kyushu University, and each person will give me 1 taels of emergency first, and walk away."

Chu Li frowned, was pulled up by Qing Xia, and reluctantly said: "Qing Xia, I'm hungry."

Qingxia pulled him involuntarily, and shouted: "Go back and eat again, you are the emperor, how can you just think about eating. Hurry up, go and teach your disobedient subjects, stealing money, I am the best .”

A group of people walked out of the restaurant in a mighty manner. Who knew that as soon as they stepped out of the gate of the restaurant, they felt silky under their feet when they stepped on the ground. When they looked down, the whole street was covered with brocade satin with colorful cloud totems.

On a high platform in the distance, a middle-aged man laughed and said, "Master Song Huaxuan of the Song family presented a brocade for thirty miles, leading directly to the Ronghua Palace. The name is: Qingyun Zhishang!"

Qing Xia was speechless, thirty miles?Everyone saw Qing Xia looking at the big Kaizi standing on the high platform in awe, his eyes rolled thirty times in a row, and they didn't know how many tricks to steal people's money had already been concocted.

"The wine and meat of the rich family stinks, and the road is frozen to death, Chu Li, this time, we really can't be merciful."

Chu Li smiled faintly, and stood beside Qing Xia, wearing a lake-colored robe fluttering in the wind, unexpectedly handsome and unrestrained.

The lanterns were burning brightly, the voices of people were buzzing, and the gong started to be played for the annual Fortune Fighting Conference in the old city of Haishi. After the magnificent opening, the owner of the game came slowly.

The colorful lights are burning high, and the trees and silver flowers are in flames.The head of the Xuanhua family, a large family in the southeast, was ingenious, echoing the young master Song Huaxuan of the Song family, and hired [-] talented people from the southeast family to paint together on the [-]-mile "Straight Sky".

Top-grade Zhudan Hui ink, cardamom gold powder, small wolf hairs as thin as silk pistils, and a five-foot gold pen that can only be made by two people. There is a lot of people on both sides of the street, a huge tripod is fragrant, and there are girls wearing silk sleeves. Jade cups, from time to time, offer good wine to the young heroes who paint.On the thirty miles of splendid blue satin, handsome and talented scholars are active on it, drinking wine, inscribing poems, splashing ink, with unrestrained and unrestrained posture, flirtatious and dissolute, showing the luxury of the prosperous age.

Qingxia couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, the Xuanhua family's move was really extraordinary.Different from the previous Drunken Carp Sprinkling Gold, it is a step up in grade, and it does not add a bit of rare artistic conception of the book.

It is not the first time Qingxia has heard the name of the Xuanhua family.Eight years ago, the Xuanhua family was just a small family in Dongqi, with less than a hundred members, so it could only be regarded as a wealthy family.Unexpectedly, that patriarch bought a woman with unparalleled beauty, which aroused Yan Hui, who was still the captain of the Xichuan Right Army at that time, so itchy that he sneaked into the Xuan Mansion in spite of the world, disguised as a woman for two months, and finally died in the palace. Chased by the whole country of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, he eloped back to Xichuan with the dancer and the two concubines of the head of the Xuan family.In this way, he achieved the title of the number one wanderer in the mainland, and also made Xuanhua of the Eastern Qi Dynasty famous.
