Chapter 217: Acquisition of the Salt Works

~~~~~~~

Li Yuanqing reacted instantly, lifted the saber on the side, and quickly pushed the door out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The lights in the next room were flickering, the water was filled, and a dark shadow was chasing after a woman.

The steel knife in Li Yuanqing's hand was already unsheathed, and he flew to kick open the door, swinging the knife directly to the back of the black shadow.

The rooms in this inn are all in a pattern, and when he was outside, Li Yuanqing had already seen the direction of this black shadow, and he had practiced all year round, and instead of pulling it down, his skills had improved a lot.

This knife was fast, accurate and ruthless, like the autumn wind cutting leaves, and in an instant, it had already slashed at this black shadow.

The black shadow didn't have time to react at all, and with a 'plop', he fell to the ground, and the kitchen knife in his hand also fell down.

On the other side, the singer also came back to her senses, and when she saw Li Yuanqing, she couldn't help crying, and she didn't care about the red fruit all over her body, and hurriedly threw herself on Li Yuanqing's lap, "Thank you for saving me, if you don't come, he will definitely kill me." ”

At this time, there was a burst of footsteps outside the door, and Guan Canghai and his own soldiers also reacted and rushed upstairs.

"Master, are you alright?" Guan Canghai asked worriedly.

Li Yuanqing said lightly: "It's okay." Canghai, a few of you, guard the door. Don't let anyone come up. ”

Guan Canghai also knew that it was inconvenient to have female dependents, so he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to guard the door.

Li Yuanqing glanced at the singing girl, and moved over the body of the black shadow, which was that Zhang Jiu.

Seeing that Zhang Jiu had rolled her eyes, blood was flowing from her mouth and nose, and it was obvious that she was no longer good, the tears that the singer was about to stop fell out in horror and hugged Li Yuanqing's thighs tightly.

Li Yuanqing already knew a little at this time, this was his mistake. After a pause, he asked, "Is he your man?" ”

The singer nodded, but shook her head vigorously, "Master, I, I was bought by him." My mother's family was originally a big family in Shenyang City, and then it fell to this, lord, the slave and maid are willing to serve you as cattle and horses, just ask you not to drive me away. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, and suddenly smiled, "We are still fellow countrymen." Where are you from? ”

The singer hurriedly said: "I am from Willow Lane in the south of Shenyang, my father opened a small restaurant, and I am the only daughter. ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help frowning, "What's your name?" ”

"Slave maid, slave maid is called Liu Qiao, and my father's name is Liu Chungen." As she spoke, she hid to Li Yuanqing's side in some fright, as if she was afraid of Zhang Jiu's corpse.

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, "You go and wash your face." ”

She was too close just now, and the blood stains splashed by Zhang Jiufei also splashed on her face.

"Yes." Liu Qiao didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't care about the red fruit all over his body, so he hurriedly ran to the half-split bucket on the side, washed his face vigorously, and came to Li Yuanqing carefully, his hands were a little shy, and he was a little frightened to block her privacy.

Li Yuanqing looked at her quietly and was silent.

Liu Qiao didn't know what to do, he lowered his head, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Her skin is very white, and her living conditions were not bad when she was a child, and her figure is not bad, but she is a little emaciated and seems to be malnourished.

On the originally very smooth skin, there are several uncoordinated scars, which ruin a lot of beauty.

Li Yuanqing suddenly said: "Your restaurant, but it's called Liu Ji Guxiang?" ”

Liu Qiao couldn't help but be stunned, "Master, you, how do you know?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "I told you just now, I am also from Shenyang." ”

Liu Qiao reacted at this time, and his somewhat pale face couldn't help but flush a little.

At that time, she was the eldest lady of the Liu family, but at this time, she ......

How embarrassing it should be to meet a fellow here.

Li Yuanqing asked her a few more words, and she responded carefully one by one, like a frightened rabbit.

Li Yuanqing was a little silent, "There is a death here." You go to my room next door. I'll ask them to fetch you water later, and you can take a good shower. ”

"Huh? Be. Liu Qiao hurriedly saluted.

Li Yuanqing went to the side and picked up her clothes and draped them on her, "Put on your clothes, go to the next door to take a bath first, and I'll go back when I'm done here." ”

"Yes." Liu Qiao's face turned even redder, he hurriedly got dressed, and ran to the next door in small steps.

Seeing her go out, Li Yuanqing looked at the deep night sky outside the window, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Even if you are worth hundreds of millions in Liaodi, so what?

Shenyang fell, Liaodi fell, everything, but it was just an empty one.

In order to make a living, she had to commit herself to a bastard like Zhang Jiu.

It doesn't matter what the sages said, the phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken.

However, Liu Qiao is also lucky, at least, she still has her life alive now, and she can meet her fellow villager Li Yuanqing, as for more and more Liao people, they may not be so lucky.

Guan Canghai walked in at this time and said in a low voice: "General." ”

There was no female dependant in the room, so he naturally wanted to come to clean up the aftermath.

Li Yuanqing didn't have the slightest interest in bastards like Zhang Jiu, and said in a low voice: "Clean up this place and throw it into the sea tomorrow." “

Guan Canghai understood that Li Yuanqing didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he hurriedly said, "Yes." Humble duties will be dealt with. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Over at the inn, give me some silver." Let Shen Jin deal with it tomorrow. ”

"Yes."

With Shen Jin's energy, this little thing is still more than enough for him.

When I returned to the room, a soldier brought a large wooden bucket, poured hot water, and carefully closed the door.

Liu Qiao sat aside, at a loss.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Take a shower and have a good rest." It's all gone. It's going to be fine. ”

Liu Qiao grabbed Li Yuanqing's sleeve, "Master, you, are you leaving?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "I'm not leaving." You go take a bath. ”

Liu Qiao relieved his mind and shyly came to Mutong to take a bath.

Li Yuanqing lay on the bed and looked at her, but he didn't have the slightest lust~ desire, Liaomin, it's too bitter.

Although the Dongjiang River covers thousands of miles of Liaohai, it is sparse after all, and it is impossible to cover everything, and there are still a large number of Liao people who came to Denglai by sea.

But Denglai is not a pure land, they have nothing but to be bullied.

Yuan Keli is already a capable person, but unfortunately, he can only maintain it, but he is powerless to change it at all.

rubbed his temples tiredly, which also contributed to Li Yuanqing's determination, even if he had to pay some price, many things, but he had to speed up the process.

Only when he has strong strength will he have the opportunity to change more.

At this time, Liu Qiao had already finished washing, and stood timidly in front of Li Yuanqing, not knowing why.

Li Yuanqing smiled and asked her to go to bed, "Sleep." Wake up tomorrow and everything will be fine. ”

Liu Qiao was already exhausted after several waves of life and death today, feeling the warmth of Li Yuanqing beside her, she didn't have time to think too much, and soon fell asleep.

But at this point, her hand still grabbed Li Yuanqing's clothes, as if she was afraid that Li Yuanqing would leave.

Li Yuanqing helped her cover the quilt, leaned against her, and soon fell asleep.

…………

When he woke up, the sky was already bright, and Liu Qiao also reacted, "Master, slave maid, slave maid serves you." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Don't worry, lie down for a while." ”

Liu Qiao's face couldn't help but turn red, "Master, slave, slave ......"

Her hands and feet were too jerky, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know how to provoke men's interests at all.

Li Yuanqing smiled, he himself had no affection for Liu Qiao~ desire, "You can sing me a song." ”

Liu Qiao reacted at this time, but unfortunately there was no pipa, so he hummed softly, "The tide of the Spring River is even with the sea, and the bright moon on the sea is .........."

It is the genius poet Zhang Ruoxu of the Tang Dynasty "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night".

It's just that the tune sung by Liu Qiao is very soft, which is completely different from what Li Yuanqing heard in later generations, but has some charm of Jiangnan minor.

Although her appearance is not outstanding, her voice is good and transparent.

Shen Jin fell in love with her, probably because of this voice.

As she hummed, Li Yuanqing gradually fell silent, recalling the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately, it was the emperor's ......

After Liu Qiao finished singing, Shen Jin's voice sounded outside, and he smiled a little ambiguously~ ambiguously: "General Li, are you up?" The little brother came to visit you. ”

Normally, this is very impolite behavior, but at this time, because of the matter of Zhang Jiu's corpse, he is not coveted.

Liu Qiao was obviously a little scared, and nervously grabbed Li Yuanqing's big hand.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's okay." You are now my person, and no one will hurt you. ”

"But, but ......" Liu Qiao still didn't let go.

Li Yuanqing smiled and kissed her on the face, and then she relaxed a little, as if she had been stamped, and hurriedly got up to serve Li Yuanqing to dress.

"Brother Shen, wait for me with a cup of tea. I'll go over later. ”

Shen Jin hurriedly smiled and said, "General Li, you are busy first." The little brother will go down and wait for you first. ”

With the sound of footsteps, Shen Jin should go down.

Liu Qiao relaxed and helped Li Yuanqing get dressed.

Seeing Liu Qiao busy in front of him, and thinking of her voice, Li Yuanqing suddenly had a trace of evil fire in his heart, and whispered in her ear: "Get on the bed." ”

Liu Qiao was stunned for a moment, but also understood something, his face turned red instantly, and he hurriedly did it......

…………

After a while, Li Yuanqing slowly went downstairs, and Guan Canghai glanced at Li Yuanqing, meaning that Zhang Jiu's body had been disposed of.

With Shen Jin's energy, this is indeed nothing.

"General Li, I haven't seen you for a day, and your demeanor is better than in the past." Shen Jin smiled and flattered.

Li Yuanqing didn't care about him either, and said with a smile: "Isn't Brother Shen the same? I would like to thank Brother Li for this morning's incident. ”

Shen Jin said with a smile: "I didn't think about this matter well, and I caused trouble to General Li." ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Brother Shen, you and my brother hit it off at first sight, what is your name General Li?" Call me Brother Li. ”

Li Yuanqing deliberately put down his identity, why didn't Shen Jin appreciate it? Hurriedly smiled: "Brother Li, Brother Li." The younger brother is polite. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "That's right." By the way, Brother Shen, what we talked about yesterday, do you have eyebrows here? ”

Shen Jin was drinking water, and when he heard this, he instantly became excited, and he was scalded, he glanced around, surrounded by Li Yuanqing's personal soldiers and his entourage, and the shopkeeper's junior second had already been driven aside.

He hurriedly whispered, "Brother, I am here for this today. Last night, I sent someone to inquire, and now there is such a good fork in the road. The Laizhou royal family has a large salt farm on the side of Dengzhou Mansion, and is about to make a move. ”

"Oh?" Li Yuanqing smiled slightly, "I don't know how much silver they open?" ”

With the temperament of a son-in-law like Shen Jin, he must have been eyeing this salt farm for a long time, and this Laizhou Wang family should also be an ordinary big family without real backing.

Shen Jin smiled hurriedly and said in a low voice: "Brother, let's not hide it, we are lucky, this Wang family has now lost a batch of goods in the south, and is waiting for the silver to save it." They offered as little as eight thousand taels. ”

Li Yuanqing already understood it when he heard it, and he guessed this matter, but this is Dengzhou, and the wicked naturally have Shen Gongzi to do it, and Li Yuanqing does not need to show his face.

"The price is right. However, let's take a look at the place first. Li Yuanqing said with a smile.

Shen Jin hurriedly said: "Exactly, it is such a reason." Big brother, when we have breakfast, I'll go over and check. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother, don't be in such a hurry." When it comes to the beak, can the duck still fly? Brother has one more thing that he needs your help with. ”
