She said awkwardly:
"Sister Lan, I..."
Lan Zhixin squeezed her arm and said:
"If you are still not satisfied, then four hundred taels of silver a month, okay?"
Dongfang Ying sighed, pouted and said:
"Sister Lan Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of snobbery who is greedy for money?”
“It’s just that I can’t be a captain of the guard, for fear of delaying your Lanjiang Company’s career and letting you down.” I have met Sister Lan's high hopes..."
Lan Zhixin smiled and said:
"I know that Sister Ying'er is not that kind of person. Don't worry, I believe in your ability. "You, where can I find such a good candidate?"
"Since you don't care about remuneration, that's fine. The position of captain of the escort team of our Lanjiang company must be you." I belong."
Dou Bei and Zhan Ruilong couldn't help but look at each other and looked at Dongfang Ying reluctantly when they saw that Lan Zhixin had intervened and "robbed" Dongfang Ying.
Dongfang Ying could only smile sheepishly:
"Then... I have to ask Brother Dou for your understanding. I cannot accept your kindness, nor can I keep such a valuable thing. Brother Dou, please keep it yourself!"
"Furthermore, under the leadership of you two brothers, the Jian'an Gang has become so prosperous and won the support of everyone in your gang. I am definitely not an outsider. Women can be replaced."
"Don't put me in an inappropriate position!"
Dou Bei pondered for a moment and sighed. He said in one breath:
"It doesn't matter, the Eastern heroine is the Phoenix Bird Dapeng after all. This small temple of the Jian'an Gang is not a place for the heroine to live. It was someone Dou who was rude." < /p>
After saying that, he handed the gold box to Aguan and asked him to put it away. He forced a smile on everyone and said:
"No matter what, it is fate that we can get together. Oriental women Xia has always been a distinguished guest and idol of our Jian'an Gang, and everyone is also a good friend of our Jian'an Gang."
"You will continue to drink and eat until you are drunk."
Dongfang Ying also smiled and said:
"That's right, let's just pretend that we haven't said anything about it. We are all still friends. Don't waste such a good time with beautiful scenery, good wine and good food!"
Who knew that Mingchuan Rongmei giggled at this time, separated Lan Zhixin and Dongfang Ying, and said:
"Mrs. Liao, in fact, you don't understand Ying'er's true thoughts and thoughts. , She just values love and justice, and is afraid that she might hurt your face by saying something directly. Let me help her say it."
"Ying'er actually doesn't like to be restrained by others, and she doesn't like to be dependent on others. , what she yearns for is the vast sea and sky, and indulges in the mountains and rivers; what she wants is whiteStart from scratch, establish your own business, overcome all obstacles and conquer the world! "
"The dignified white horse and red scarf Dongfang Ying should not be anyone's subordinate, nor anyone's puppet. She will not be attached to anyone, nor will she rely on the power of any party! ”
“But she can only be her own master and her own leader. "
"Ying'er, tell me, do you think so? Is this kind of white horse and red scarf the white horse and red scarf that the world admires? "
After listening to Mingchuan Rongmei's words, Dongfang Ying couldn't help but resonate with her heart. She was so heroic that she nodded her head and said loudly:
"Sister Ronger, you said it so well. That’s what I think, every sentence speaks to my heart! "
Lan Zhixin asked doubtfully:
"Ying'er, do you really want to start your own business? This is not an easy task. Why bother to endure this hardship? Why not follow our Lan family's company and enjoy the shade under the big tree..."
Dongfang Ying actually didn't know what Lan Zhixin meant. What is "Lanjiang Company" like and how powerful it is, but hearing her tone, it seems that she depends on their family for a living.
Mingchuan Rongmei also once said that she wanted to "support" herself. , their Mingchuan family is very powerful, not only in the Qing Dynasty, but also in various parts of the world.
With the close relationship between Mingchuan Rongmei and herself, I am not willing to accept her "support". What's more, Lan Zhixin, who is a casual acquaintance, said seriously:
"Sister Lan, thank you for your kindness. I really don't want to be dependent on others. "
"I have long had the idea of setting up my own business. I had discussed it with Sister Yue'er and Sister Ronger before, and then we seized a batch of firearms from the army."
"Be prepared to train everyone's marksmanship to become the backbone of my sect. Yue'er, don't you think so? "
Dongfang Ying then turned to look at Nangong Huiyue and asked deliberately.
Nangong Huiyue naturally understood what she meant and hoped to get one more person to confirm her statement. .
As Dongfang Ying’s most caring lover, Nangong Huiyue gave Mingchuan Rongmei the opportunity to express Dongfang Ying’s true thoughts heartily, which won the favor of the heroine and made her feel a little emotional. Lost.
Now that she saw that the heroine had not forgotten herself, she naturally tried her best to stand on the heroine's side and express her loyalty, so she said seriously:
"Yes, the day before yesterday. When you told me about this, I strongly agreed. "
"You said that a bunch of brothers and sisters like us got together and followed you around with all our hearts. Although we had no complaints or regrets, you always had to be responsible for everyone and find a proper home. ”
“If you don’t form your own gang, you will be like a ragtag group of stragglers. When you encounter real danger, you will eventually be slaughtered by others. "< /p>
"This is Ying'er's original intention of starting your own business. I think everyone will be grateful to you and support you."
"Sister Wu, Sister Lu, Sister Qi, and the Guo family's sisters , Li family girls, Xiao Linzi, Da Shitou, Xiaoyun Xiaoxia, don’t you think so?”
Nangong Huiyue looked at everyone, Wu Xiahe, Lu Qiuying and others naturally nodded frequently. Call it yes.
Dongfang Ying was very satisfied with Nangong Huiyue's performance. She came close to her and secretly pinched her plump and round butt. Nangong Huiyue glanced at her charmingly, and her eyes almost dripped with water. Come.
Lan Zhixin saw that everyone was on the same page, so she had no choice but to give up. Anyway, she asked Dongfang Ying to be the captain of the company's escort team, just to test Dongfang Ying and help her out to prevent her from being attracted by the Jian'an Gang. past.
Now that Dongfang Ying has rejected the Jian'an Gang and achieved her goal, she borrowed the donkey from Poxia and said with a sweet smile:
"I didn't expect Sister Ying'er to be so chivalrous and kind-hearted. I have thought so carefully about my sisters, so I should also be an adult. I wish your new sect will be established as scheduled and have a good start!"
Dongfang Ying smiled and said:
"Thank you, Sister Lan! Ji Yan, I hope I live up to everyone's expectations."
Gan Taoxian, who had been busy eating, suddenly slapped his forehead and said:
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue. read.
"Ah, I remembered..."
Lan Zhixin couldn't help laughing and scolding:
"Why are you so surprised? You remembered What's the matter? Did you forget to buy something?"
Gan Taoxian swallowed a mouthful of steamed pork and said with a smile:
"No, no, I just remembered what I said before. The name of the mountain is called Zhanlu Mountain. Legend has it that it was the place where Ou Yezi forged the Zhanlu Sword more than two thousand years ago. It is known as the No. 1 Sword Mountain in the world."
"And my home is far away from Zhanlu! There are at most five or six miles of mountain roads in Lushan Mountain. My father once took us brothers and sisters to visit it. "
"This is really great. This mountain will never disappear, right? Then it will be easy to find my home..."
Lan Zhixin said in surprise:
"Zhanlu Mountain? This mountain seems to be quite famous. It turns out that it is in Zhenghe. County! I really want to pay my respects."
Dongfang Ying is also looking forward to it. One of her favorite treasures is the magic weapon, the famous sword. Although her own Purple Rainbow Sword is considered a god. The weapon is powerful, but it is far less famous than the Zhanlu Sword.
Being able to go to the sacred mountain where the Zhanlu Sword was made is the lifelong aspiration of all sword masters in the world.Past.
He said happily at the moment:
"So this is the secret and safe mountain you mentioned in the morning. It is not only the best sword mountain in the world, but also a good place for our military training. Of course I have to go."
"Sister Gan, your hometown is really a good place to hide gems and treasures!"
Gan Taoxian's face was filled with smiles. Dou Bei was there. He pondered and said:
"Speaking of which, Zhanlu Mountain should belong to the territory of Songxi County. Miss Gan said that her hometown is only five or six miles away from Zhanlu Mountain. Judging from this, it must be "At the junction of the two counties."
"As far as I know, Zhanlu Mountain is right in the middle of Songxi County and Zhenghe County. About five miles south of Zhanlu Mountain is a place called Zhailing Pass. "Jieshan, maybe Miss Gan's hometown is near Zhailing Pass."
Gan Taoxian's eyes were even more gleaming, and she was no longer in the mood to eat, so she said hurriedly:
"Da Longtou's inference is very reasonable. I...I can't wait to fly to that place right now...How about we stop delaying and hurry up to Zhenghe County?"
She said and looked at Dou Bei and Dongfang Ying with excitement on their faces.
Dongfang Ying didn't care, but Dou Bei was the organizer of this trip after all, so she still had to see what he meant, so she said:
"We have done some shopping. I’ve eaten what I need to eat, so there’s no regrets in leaving now.”
“If there’s no big problem with sailing at night, it’s better to take the boat overnight to Zhenghe County.”
"Brother Dou, what do you think?"
Dou Bei frowned when he heard this, and said in deep thought:
"Now that the city gates are closed, it will be inconvenient for a large group of people to leave the city; And sailing at night is indeed dangerous. The Songxi River is relatively narrow, winding and has many dangerous shoals."
"Now that we know the location of Miss Gan's hometown, it's not bad at midnight."
"I have made arrangements. We can rest one night at the Zhenwu Temple on the top of Huanghua Mountain. We will leave the city to change ships tomorrow morning and we will definitely arrive at Zhenghe County tomorrow night."
Dongfang Ying also heard this. He had no choice but to comfort Gan Taoxian and said:
"Sister Gan, Da Longtou is right. I have been waiting for so many years, and it is not less than half of the night."
Lan Zhixin also advised:
"Yes, sister Xian'er, Da Longtou is the boss of the boat gang and has rich experience in boating. He said that the waterway is difficult to travel at night, so why should we take the risk?"
"Just rest here for one night, tomorrow will be here in a blink of an eye."
Gan Taoxian is not an unreasonable person. He knows that he cannot let everyone take risks because of himself, so he hurriedly smiled and said :
"You don't have to care about me so much. I just say whatever I want on a whim."
"Don't say it's a day and a half late. Even if I stay here for three or five more days, I'm not in a hurry. This Jianning city is really good, and there are still many places I haven't visited yet!"
Lan Zhixin He scratched her nose:
"You are not anxious, but I am. My dad is waiting for me to rush back to celebrate my birthday!"
Everyone couldn't help but smile, and the atmosphere Harmony and ease are restored.
The banquet continued for half an hour, and everyone was full of food and wine. Just when the officers and soldiers in the campus at the foot of the mountain turned off their lights and went to bed quietly, the reception banquet also came to an end.
A Guan called on five or six disciples to clean up the mess, while he accompanied Dou Bei and led everyone to climb to the top of the mountain and arranged to sleep in Zhenwu Temple.
This Zhenwu Temple was built during the Kangxi period. It is condescending and overlooks the whole city. It covers an area of several acres and has more than ten pavilions and wing rooms. It has been cleaned up by the inner hall disciples of the Jian'an Gang. Temple Zhu and several Taoist boys They were gathered into a quiet room in the main hall.
Everyone was slightly drunk, but Dongfang Ying and Mingchuan Rongmei were still sober. They saw that Dou Bei and others handled things well, boldly and carefully, and this small hilltop was extremely safe.
As the saying goes, "The most dangerous place is often the safest place." The officers, soldiers and officers never imagined that the hunted "anti-thieves" and "gangsters" would dare to openly attack them. They ate, drank, and slept soundly next to the camp.
It can be seen from this that Dou Bei's courage and the Jian'an Gang's ability to do things are beyond the reach of ordinary Jianghu sects.
But even so, Huanghua Mountain was patrolled and defended by the Jian'an Gang, and Dongfang Ying and Mingchuan Rongmei did not dare to take it lightly.
The two of them practiced together with Nangong Huiyue. After half an hour of internal strength, she was asked to go to bed first, and the two of them took turns meditating and alerting themselves to the surrounding situation.
Fortunately, nothing happened overnight. As soon as it dawned the next day, everyone got up to freshen up. After eating the breakfast Jian'an bought for his disciples, they leisurely went down the mountain and walked along the city wall from the other side of the mountain road to Ningyuan Gate. nearby.
Just as the city gate was opened, everyone followed the merchants and people out of the city gate. A Yuan and others had already been waiting by the Gaomen City Pool to welcome everyone onto the painted boat.
Follow the path you took into the city last night, go south along the east moat, exit the east gate, enter the east stream, turn to the northeast and walk slowly.
After walking about three or four miles, Dongfang Ying and others saw the bird boat going down the stream yesterday. Dou Nan was standing on the bow of the boat, waving to everyone.
When the brothers met, there was no need to say anything. They arranged for everyone to change boats in a tacit understanding. Dou Bei said that the gang still had many matters to deal with and had to stay in the Fucheng area and could not accompany him.
Instruct Dou Nan to safely deliver everyone to their destination, find Gan Taoxian's home address, and obey Dongfang Ying's instructions at any time.
Dongfang Ying, Lan Zhixin, and Mingchuan Rongmei all admire Dou Bei, the leader of the Jian'an Gang, and talk to each other.Cherish it, look forward to meeting again, and reluctantly say goodbye.
Dou Nan seems to be less resourceful and steady than Brother Nai, but his boating skills and martial arts physical strength are even better. He is worthy of being a river-crossing dragon that traverses the waterways.
Under his control, the bird boat cut through the waves and sailed smoothly, shuttling through thousands of mountains and rocks. In less than a day, it arrived at Zhenghe County, abandoned the boat and landed, and stayed in a house in the county. "Yixiang Inn".
