Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 131 Wind and Cloud
There was only a blond young woman left in the room. There was a hint of blush on her fair and tender cheeks. She had a charming dimple and a proud body. Unusual laziness. The ebony window frames are inlaid with frosted carved glass from the Western Continent to separate the cold wind from the outside into another world. The wintersweet outside the window is swaying and flying in the cold wind, and the fine snowflakes are scattered from the endless sky. , Some gray skies are like a dead face, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Alas," the bright red cherry lips let out a soft sigh, casually put down the book in his hand, and sat on this sofa for half an afternoon, as if he couldn't cheer up anything, even himself The "Romance of the West Chamber" that I like very much is also difficult to attract conscious interest. I always feel weak all over my body. The young blonde woman twisted her delicate body and tried to curl her body into a ball to make her body more comfortable. It has been a while since I received a letter from Airo, it seems that some backbone is missing in my life, and everything has become so dull. In fact, when it comes to news, An Qier can still keep track of her Ai Lang's actions at any time, and she also knows how busy her Ai Lang is during this time, and she doesn't expect her Ai Lang to be able to have time in such a tense situation I wrote a private letter to myself, but I still subconsciously hope that my Ai Lang can remember my birthday, even if it is a random message, but it seems that this kind of wish is too idealistic, and my Ai Lang does not seem to be like this. A person with a romantic mind.
A touch of melancholy slowly climbed up the young woman's smooth forehead, and the wine entered her heart, turning into tears of lovesickness. I haven't drank alcohol yet, but my heart seems to be filled with lovesickness.
"Miss, miss!" The surprise cheers of his maidservant sounded outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Frowning a little displeased, the blonde girl brushed her fluffy hair and straightened her long skirt. Did her uncle come to find her? Uncle should be very clear about what the Miao family is up to, why would they still come looking for him? I have already made my attitude clear, doesn't my uncle understand?
The purpose of the Miao family looking for him must be for the problem of the large-scale iron mine in Lulong. Gu Ji has already informed himself that the Miao family secretly colluded with the Taiping Army in Lulong and other places in Beiyuan. On the surface, the source seems to be smuggling from various places and the Kaman Empire, but after careful investigation by Wufeng's security department, there are many secrets that are hidden here. Many wealthy families in the empire have secretly participated in the smuggling of the Taiping Army. , and the scale of participation is quite large, and the degree of participation is quite deep. Otherwise, the supply and savings of the Taiping Army would not be enough to support such a long and large-scale war. Even with the support of the Kaman people, it would be impossible. First of all, although it is well hidden, it is not easy to hide such large-scale cargo entry and exit from those who want to hide it, especially since the Northwest Army has won successive victories in several recent wars, and many prisoners have persuaded them to surrender Afterwards, the senior generals of the Taiping Army obtained many high-level secrets. The issue of Lulong's mine ownership has not yet been settled, but the news that the Miao family's mine was seized by the local government has spread to the capital. It should be said that the Miao family's power should have caused troubles in the imperial court, but the Miao family has never Dare to take any tough action, there must be something tricky in it, Angel naturally knows it.
I can't hide my relationship with Airang from those who are interested, especially those who are well-informed at the top of the empire, not to mention that my uncle doesn't seem to want to hide anything about it. But she also knew that the Miao family had sent people to see her again and again, and she didn't want to make any statement on this issue until she got Ailang's clear opinion, so as not to affect her Ailang's arrangements and plans, although She didn't agree with breaking up with the Miao family at this time. On the contrary, my uncle seems to be more willing to take this opportunity to win the relationship with the Miao family. Although I don't know Wufeng's attitude, my uncle doesn't seem to worry about anything. Maybe this is the experience of a wily uncle. Lang will not easily turn against the Miao family, which has deep connections in the imperial court and the public. Of course, using the things in his hands to achieve a result that is satisfactory to both parties should be a result acceptable to both parties, but it takes time and opportunity, and requires mutual cooperation. Patience and sincerity on both sides.
The door was pushed open heavily, and Angel looked angrily at the maid who ran in from the door, but the annoyed look on the girl's face was suddenly diluted by the rose in the maid's hand, and the fiery red Roses bring a touch of freshness and joy to a somewhat dull room, and even reveal a touch of deep affection.
"Who sent it?" There was already a feeling in her heart, and even her voice trembled a little. Angel's heart was thumping, and she suddenly became nervous. Her pair of blue eyes did not want to hide her expectation at all.
"Who does Miss most hope to send it to you?" Putting her other hand behind her back a little mischievously, the servant girl tilted her head and smiled back, relying on the master's love for her.
"Damn girl, how dare you tease me?" A blush crept up her cheeks, but Angel quickly regained her composure, "It's him?"
"Well, my lady's wish came true, it was really sent by Master Li." The servant girl looked bright and sincerely happy for her master, "Here is another gift, I just don't know What exactly is installed here?"
After receiving the exquisite box handed over by the maidservant, Angel's heart moved. This is a gift box that obviously carries the Western Continent. The satin bowknot looks like it was produced by a professional-level gift shop. I never thought that my lover would still have such thoughts. Angel’s resentment and disappointment just now have long been forgotten. The woman in the love trap no longer has the demeanor of everyone who just meditated.
After untying the ribbon, Angel's eyes lit up, a beautiful double-ring concentric knot was pierced by a golden arrow, and an angel hovering in the air was flying away slowly, what an exquisite jade carving! With a dazed expression and affection in her eyes, An Qier lightly pressed the jade pendant on Gao Long's chest, forgetting where she was for a moment, the servant girl also left quietly knowingly, and gently closed the door, leaving only My master stayed alone in the room to taste this rare gift quietly.
Situ Biao waited anxiously. During this period of time, he was in an unspeakable state of anxiety. Many times, he even suspected that he seemed to be suffering from some kind of mental illness. Want to do a certain thing, even if you know the truth that haste makes waste, you still can't get rid of this strange idea.
Just like today, why the messenger sent by the mother has not reported the situation, what kind of situation the father's coma yesterday was, he must understand clearly whether it was caused by a temporary discomfort, or it was real... ····He is eager to understand something, the clearer the better.
Damn this gang, the news from my uncle has not come back. I heard that the third brother is also in frequent contact with the target. The purpose is self-evident. I don't know how sure my uncle is. Are you quite sure about what you say? Situ Biao felt like he was going crazy. This kind of tormenting waiting was the most painful and unbearable. But without waiting and pain, how could there be hope and happiness? Situ Biao understood this truth, but he still felt that this kind of life was really suffocating. He didn't know how long this kind of life would last.
Going west along the Fanjiang River, the river water in the dry season is much less than that in the wet season, but this does not affect the passenger and cargo ships traveling on the river. As the most important waterway connecting the east and west of the empire, the Fanjiang River bears the important responsibility of connecting the central part of the empire, especially the cargo exchange between the imperial capital and the East China Sea and the Jiangnan counties. It is the largest inland river port in the empire and one of the most important cities in the eastern part of the empire. The grain, salt, cloth, silk, tea and other bulk goods in the two counties of the East China Sea, as long as they are not urgently needed, are transported continuously to the imperial capital through the canal and the fan river waterway. This waterway also bears an important responsibility, that is, Most of the taxes sent to the imperial capital from Donghai and Jiangnan counties also go through this waterway.
Su Qin stood on the side of the boat, staring indifferently at the naval patrol boat inspecting in the distance. It could be seen that this naval patrol boat was just going through the motions. , when the ship owner threw the small bag that had been prepared to the inspecting sergeant openly, the sergeant's happy appearance even Su Qin who was standing at the stern could feel the joy of the other party. The few soldiers who were pretending to check with knives and guns immediately withdrew and retreated. Regardless of what the passengers in the cockpit thought, they jumped back to their own patrol boat in three steps at a time. After leaving, he ran towards another target not far away.
Shaking his head slightly, Su Qin sighed. He didn't know how much he had gained from this trip to the south of the Yangtze River. Maybe he could only make it clear after returning to the northwest to think about his report in detail. Less, the delay is longer, there are enough people in contact, there are many in all aspects, and there are a few who can really get on the table, but in the end, they can build a relationship with their own side and form an interest with their own side How much is the relationship~IndoMTL.com~ He doesn't have much confidence in his heart, all of this still needs to be determined by the changes in the current situation and the ideas of his boss.
Thinking of this, Su Qin recalled what was hidden behind the fat figure of the other party when he left. What does the active figure of the Milanese in Jiangnan represent? It seems that people from the prefect's mansion of Wuhu County often appear in Yuhang, so what does this mean? The insidious and cunning Japanese are said to have been active in the two counties of Jiangnan and Donghai. However, during their stay in Jiangnan, it seems that they have not grasped the whereabouts of these guys. Even the news from the intelligence system also said that these guys It seems that the flag suddenly died down. There must be something weird in the middle, but now I don’t have much energy to study this issue. This is not something I should consider. Naturally, the empire will consider it. It’s just the current situation of the empire. Su Qin I am also very worried about how much power the empire still has to intervene in these matters.
His Royal Highness Seventh seems to have no intention of returning to the imperial capital, and the Seventh Legion has also begun to conduct frequent drills, nominally to prevent the invasion of the Japanese, but it is more of a land offensive and defensive drill, which does not seem to be true. Anyone with a discerning eye could clearly see the drills for coastal operations, but His Royal Highness didn't seem to care too much about it at this time.
What should come is coming. Although it is located in the south of the Yangtze River, Su Qin can still get the support of the powerful intelligence network in the Northwest immediately, whether it is the change of the internal affairs of the Northwest, the progress of the Kansai war, or It was the vicissitudes of Heshuo, and even the subtle changes in the situation in the imperial capital, which could not escape his eyes and ears. If it comes, let it come more violently.
The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is all over the building, and the black cloud is pressing down on the city to destroy it!
