"It's so comfortable......"

Xu Xingxia stretched and got up from the bed. Looking at the sky outside, it was actually dusk, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. It's amazing to sleep until dusk. I slept for more than six hours. However, this also shows that he slept very soundly, slept very deeply, and all the big stones in his heart were put down. It is estimated that from now on, it should be Mo Yugen who can't sleep. This dog said that Mo Yuegen deserved it.

Tesna came over and waited for him to freshen up, telling him that dinner was ready. Xu Xingxia originally wanted to have dinner with Zhu Xieyuan and others to discuss some collaborative matters, but after thinking about it, he forgot it. Let's wait until the battle is completely over.

Dinner was light. Mainly stewed soups, vegetables, and fish. Things that are too greasy, Xu Xingxia doesn't like them. In the barracks of the white-clothed army, the ingredients prepared are also popular. Actually, he wasn't very hungry either, and he was full after eating a little something.

Tesna waited for him to finish eating, and said casually, "The people from the Chamber of Commerce are here." ”

Xu Xingxia nodded casually. The white-clothed army fought to the death with the Tartars and the Mongols this time, and the people in the rear were very concerned, although the battle was not completely over, and the news of the victory reached the rear. They were originally nervous, but when they put their minds at ease, they naturally rushed to come. The person who treated him should have come early in the morning, but a large number of condolences should still be to come.

The current white-clothed army is closely related to the fate of the Chamber of Commerce. Wherever the footsteps of the White Clothes Army go, the network of the Chamber of Commerce expands. If the white-clothed army collapses, it will definitely not be good for them. On the contrary, if the white army wins and continues to expand their territory, their gains will definitely be greater and greater.

Suddenly remembering something, Xu Xingxia asked casually: "Who is here?" ”

Tesna said like a treasure: "It is Mrs. Lin who leads the team. In addition, Li Deshan, Hu Gaoyuan, Chen Hailin, Zhou Liangui...... All the members of the Chamber of Commerce came. Li Hongxin of Lingnan also sent a representative. Merchants in other places have their own representatives. In total, more than 50 people came. It seems that there are more than 100 carriages of condolences sent. ”

Xu Xingxia nodded, indicating that he knew. These people are the main backbone of the Ningxia Town Chamber of Commerce, and they are also the closest partners of the White Army. In a sense, they are also anti-thieves, anti-thieves in terms of commerce and trade. If the imperial court wants to pursue it, there is no problem at all in detaining them for the crime of being a thief and beheading their homes. Therefore, they must firmly cling to the white-clothed army in order to avoid the fate of being raided and exterminated.

Of course, the White Clothes also need to sell their own goods and buy all kinds of materials they need through their respective business networks. Their business network just complements the formation of the Lin family, and they are secretly communicating with each other inside and outside Ningxia Town. With their existence, even if the imperial court wanted to blockade Ningxia Town, it would be impossible. With the [***] of the Ming Dynasty officials, as long as there is white silver to send, everything can be pretended not to be seen.

In order to attract these businesses, Xu Xingxia set up a special technology department to transfer some advanced technology to them. Such as the conception of the Watt steam engine, the basic principle of the Jenny spinning machine, trains, telephones, telegraphs, radios, generators, hydraulic presses, ...... Wait, whether it can be used or not, whether the technology is feasible or not, anyway, it is transferred to them cheaply. If there are smart people in them, they will be able to rise and grow quickly through this information.

After dinner, Xu Xingxia suddenly found that the sunset had not completely set. Today's sun seems to be particularly tenacious and reluctant. The afterglow of the setting sun, thanks to the reflection on the Gobi Desert, looks very sad and desolate. In addition, the corpses of people or war horses on the Gobi Desert that have not been cleaned up make people feel even more tragic. Faintly, there is a feeling of blood surging.

Xu Xingxia walked out of the command room, preparing to take a walk outside and move around. As a result, after walking a short distance, I saw a group of people huddled in front of me. The voices are full of voices, and the crowds are surging, and it seems to be quite lively. If you look closely, it is the people of the Ningxia Town Chamber of Commerce. It was Yu Lijun who was responsible for receiving them. As a high-ranking official specializing in handling logistics affairs, Yu Lijun and the people of the Chamber of Commerce are naturally so familiar that they can't be more familiar with it.

It is estimated that there are a lot of things sent by the Chamber of Commerce, and everyone is very happy. Some people are still holding wine glasses and drinking freely. The main reason is that we are full of hope for the future. Who doesn't want to get bigger and bigger and make more and more profits? As long as you follow in the footsteps of the white-clothed army, this wish can come true.

"Huh? Why did she come too? ”

Xu Xingxia suddenly discovered that Xiao Zhiqiao was actually in the crowd.

That day, in the Lin family, Xu Xingxia's impression of Xiao Zhiqiao was not very deep. With Mrs. Lin and Lin Feirong here, no matter how beautiful the girl is, it will be very ordinary. This time, the mother and daughter of the Lin family were not here, and Xiao Zhiqiao finally had a chance to emerge. Xu Xingxia took a closer look and unexpectedly found that this Xiao Zhiqiao was also a rare beauty.

Her facial features are delicate and flawless, very attractive, especially when she laughs, the bright color between her eyebrows and eyes, and a little proud reserve, at a glance, you can feel her extremely strict standards for male surnames, as well as confidence in her own appearance. It was also because of such capital that she dared to help people propose marriage in front of Mrs. Lin that day, right?

It's just strange, why didn't she marry into the Ye family? Purely in terms of appearance, appearance, figure, and even conversation, knowledge, and talent, she and Lin Feirong should be almost the same. Both daughters are among the best of the younger generation. As for the identities of the two, they are not much different. The actors and merchants were originally unpopular characters. Since the Ye family is willing to marry a businessman's daughter, it seems that marrying an actor as a wife is not a big problem.

With Xiao Zhiqiao's beauty, it is absolutely impossible for the people of the Ye family to say that they are not moved. To be honest, Ye Xianggao's descendants are not very successful, and most of them are wine-colored people. The only possible reason is that she herself is unwilling to marry into the Ye family. In other words, the Ye family's covetousness for her was rejected by her. However, with the power of the Ye family, how could ordinary people easily refuse? It's the Lin family, if you want to say that there is no strong support from Xu Xingxia, I'm afraid I don't dare to refuse directly, right?

In the crowd, Xiao Zhiqiao's eyes wandered, looking forward to Shenfei, and she was full of laughter. After all, she is a strange woman who wanders the world, and she has seen too many winds and waves. In front of men, she has no feeling of shyness and shyness at all, she is generous, full of smiles, charming and moving, which makes the men around her itch one by one. Especially her eyes, which are very fatal. As long as you gently throw a wink, many men can't bear it.

In fact, being covered by her eyes, as long as it is a man, a strong conquest will inevitably arise. In these years, the more women with status, the more they attract the attention of men. In particular, her graceful posture and beautiful posture are enough to make men breathless, and it can stimulate men's ** even more, which can be called a stunner. If you start purely from the perspective of seducing men, the mother and daughter of the Lin family will definitely be thrown off a few streets by her!

However, when Xu Xingxia saw her, it was more strange. Siu Tsz Qiao? Isn't she a piano artist from Jiangnan? Shouldn't she go back to Gangnam? Even if you don't go back, you should stay in Ningxia Town, how did you come to the front line like Zhenyuanguan? Could it be that she is also interested in the White Army? Also interested in war? This is new.

When Xu Xingxia was pondering, Xiao Zhiqiao's eyes were really sharp, and she saw Xu Xingxia's existence from a distance. She smiled lightly at Xu Xingxia from a distance, which was regarded as a greeting, and then bent down to confess to the man next to her, and turned her head to Xu Xingxia's side. The man next to her was obviously reluctant to follow her. It wasn't until it became clear that Xiao Zhiqiao was looking for Xu Xingxia that those men had to stop.

Xiao Zhiqiao came to Xu Xingxia with light steps, smiled lightly, and said gently: "Elder Commissioner, we met again, it's really fate." ”

Xu Xingxia said very strangely: "Xiao everyone, why did you appear here?" ”

Xiao Zhiqiao said with a smile: "Last time, the little girl Meng Lang accidentally offended her wife and offended the elder of the committee, and she was really uneasy in her heart. This time, I came with my wife to atone for my sins. The little woman has no net worth, and nothing can enter the eyes of the committee member. can only buy a batch of medicinal materials from an old friend in Shanxi and give them to the committee member, which can be regarded as atonement. I also ask the committee members to forgive me for the sake of the little woman's youth and ignorance. ”

Xu Xingxia looked around curiously, searched carefully, and sure enough, he saw Mrs. Lin's figure from a distance. She seemed to be handing out condolences to the representatives of the White Army. Today, she is dressed in a long white dress, fluttering, spotless, and beautiful. It is estimated that the representatives of the white-clothed army also heard about Mrs. Lin's good name during the evening meeting, and their eyes were straight, and the corners of their mouths almost drooled. Fortunately, Mrs. Lin has long been accustomed to such scenes, and it is not strange that there are no embarrassing scenes.

Xu Xingxia nodded, retracted his gaze, and said casually: "I have a heart." ”

This Xiao Zhiqiao is obviously not a simple woman. What she said just now actually contains a lot of meanings. While apologizing for her Meng Lang, she secretly showed her ability. This ability is that she can get medicinal materials from Shanxi. It is said that due to the blockade of the imperial court, even the Lin family was unable to purchase medicinal materials from Shanxi. And this Xiao Zhiqiao can do it. Obviously, she has some special doorways.

In these years, everything else can be missing, but ability cannot be missing. In troubled times, people who lack a little ability will be ruthlessly eliminated by the waves of history. This is true even for women. Women want to control their own destiny, and they have better skills than men. Those capable women in history, such as Empress Lu, Wu Zetian, Wan Guifei and others, are all able to control their own destiny and will not be easily influenced by others.

If you don't have the ability, you only have beauty, and the result can only be a thin life, and the fragrance will disappear. The list goes on and on. There are almost no beauties in history who have good results. Their fate is in the hands of men, becoming men's vassals, playthings, and even abandoned objects. Or the father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the brother dies, which violates human ethics.

Such as Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, Empress Xiao, Yang Guifei, Li Qingzhao...... Their fate is quite bumpy. Basically, the more outstanding the woman, the more twists and turns her fate will be. They sometimes exist to stimulate men's fighting spirit. In a sense, they are like a competition reward placed by God in the world, and whoever has the best ability can grab it. It's like Tessna, sheer trophies of force.

Xu Xingxia suddenly became a little interested in Xiao Zhiqiao. This woman can come and go freely in Jiangnan, where there are many powerful families, and it seems that she still has some means. You must know that those big families in the south of the Yangtze River are full of warmth and silver desire, and they will not let go of a beauty like her. Even if there is Ye Xianggao's protection, it will be difficult to escape.

Xiao Zhiqiao smiled thoughtlessly, a little childish, a little innocent, and a little careless. She said very cautiously: "So, the chairman of the committee forgives the little girl's mistakes?" The little girl will never be held accountable again? ”

Xu Xingxia smiled casually and said casually: "Don't worry, it's all over." There's nothing wrong with you in the first place. Even if there is a mistake, it is the Ye family's fault. It is the Ye family who wants to propose, not you. Even if I want to pursue it, it will be the fault of the Ye family. You say, don't you? ”

Xiao Zhiqiao smiled shallowly, as if a big stone in her heart had finally fallen. Her mood seemed to be much better, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing shallow dimples, a little expectant, and a little shyly said: "Elder Commissioner, I am a guest from afar, you are the master here, should you accompany me around?" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said casually: "You should be accompanied." ”

Xiao Zhiqiao looked at the direction of the city gate cave and said intentionally or unintentionally: "That...... Will you go for a walk outside with me? I have seen the inside of Zhenyuan Pass. I want to see what the outside of Zhenyuan Pass is like. I didn't really see it in the city just now. ”

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "What's there to see outside?" The battlefield has not yet been cleaned, and there are dead Tartars and war horses everywhere, bloody, very bloody, I am afraid that it will scare you. ”

Xiao Zhiqiao curled the corners of her mouth and said with interest: "My lord, you don't have to worry about me." Although I am a daughter's family, I am not as heroic as you men, but I have also seen the world. If I couldn't accept the bloody scene, I would have turned back. ”

Xu Xingxia shrugged indifferently and said with a smile: "Since that's the case." Please. ”
