Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 79 Pirates
The two exchanged pleasantries and intimacy for a while, but they never got to the point. Wufeng was also a little strange. This Wei Dongchen obviously came here with a purpose, why he always refused to mention it, and there was some hesitation between his brows, as if The things he was going to mention to himself were a bit difficult to talk about, which made Wufeng really interested.
"Brother Dongchen, I think you seem to have something on your mind. If there is something difficult to make up your mind about, you might as well speak up and let Li make a decision for you to see if it suits you." Wu Feng savored carefully Looking at the Dahongpao, which is known as the holy product of tea, he squinted at Wei Dongchen who seemed to have not yet made up his mind.
"No, no, it's nothing, I just want to ask if you are free tonight, and I want to invite you to the banquet." Wei Dongchen finally said his intention, but his face seemed a little distressed. The words are also hesitant.
"Oh? Brother Dongchen, is it worth you to spend half a day here with me for dinner? You said earlier, I must have arrived. Where is it?" Wufeng is sure that there must be some problem in it It would make the other party so worried, but he still accepted the invitation generously.
"No, my lord, I didn't mean this invitation. I also invited you on behalf of someone else. He is an important partner of mine in business. He has a deep background in the shipping industry on the Jiangnan side." Wei Dongchen Finally told the truth, "Sir, you know, my transportation business has already arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and the transportation in the south of the Yangtze River is mainly water transportation. He is my most important partner there."
"That's good, I also want to meet your business partner. Since you can be called famous in Jiangnan, you must not be someone without status." Wu Feng smiled and picked up the teacup, " There have been many heroes in Jiangnan since ancient times, how about calling Su Qin or Wang Zongxi?"
"No, my lord, you misunderstood." Wei Dongchen didn't know how to start. To be honest, before he received the letter from this business partner, he didn't know that his business partner actually had another A behind-the-scenes boss, but because of his business partner for several years, he also knows some details, because the other party's merchant ships have never had any accidents in the south of the Yangtze River and the Great East Ocean, he also vaguely guessed the other party's back potential force.
But he didn't expect his business partner to ask him such a problem, that is, to invite Li Wufeng to have dinner on behalf of his behind-the-scenes boss, but what is the purpose? Although the other party swore in his heart that there would be nothing out of the ordinary, and just wanted to meet and chat with Li Wufeng, Wei Dongchen couldn't believe this promise at all, especially after meeting the so-called boss behind the business partner, he It was even more violent in his heart, if Li Wufeng really got into trouble because of his own invitation, then the whole Wei family would probably be the one who ransacked the family.
But the other party is his most important business partner. If he does not accept it, it will definitely affect his future cooperation with them. The situation that I have mastered is completely revealed. As for whether Li Wufeng accepts this invitation, it is up to Li Wufeng to make his own decision.
Wufeng squinted his eyes and listened carefully to Wei Dongchen's detailed explanation of the whole story. He just kept nodding his head slightly, but didn't insert a word. It took a long time until Wei Dongchen finished talking before he became interested. He asked a question: "Are you sure that your business partner is related to the pirates on the Great Eastern Ocean?"
Shaking his head, Wei Dongchen replied with some embarrassment: "My lord, I'm not sure about this. There have been problems, especially in the Quanzhou and Dengzhou areas where bandits are rampant in the Atlantic Ocean. The imperial navy can't take care of the areas. Their fleets are also unimpeded. Even the Japanese dare not easily move their boats. It’s rare, so I doubt it... Of course, if you want to provide definite evidence, no one will be able to come up with it. If there is, I’m afraid that my partner would have been torn apart.”
"In addition, my partner's behind-the-scenes boss also looks like he has been seeking life on the water for a long time, especially because he has a deep murderous aura. Although he is well hidden, I observed carefully In order to confirm my own guess, I can still feel a little bit." Wei Dongchen added, "It's just that he repeatedly emphasized that he wants to make friends with you, my lord, and I don't dare to make decisions. I can only promise him vaguely. Look at you, my lord."
Nodding silently, Wufeng is really interested, pirate? It's really interesting, I'm far away in the northwest, why even these pirates are eyeing me, Wufeng really can't figure out why they would come to me if these people are really pirates, it seems that I can't fight with them, and I can't hold anyone relationship.
"Then Dongchen, in your opinion, if they really have something to do with pirates, what do you think will happen if they find me?" Instead of guessing wildly, he turned to ask the perturbed instigator in front of him.
"I'm not sure about this either. It stands to reason that they shouldn't have anything to do with you, my lord, but the leader kept saying that he and you must have topics of common interest. I believe you would be willing to meet him. "Wei Dongchen tried his best to recall the meeting at that time.
"Topics of common interest?" Wu Feng asked again, seeing the other party's affirmative nod, he pondered for a while before smiling and said: "If that's the case, then I can't accept this dinner, I hope it's not a Hongmen banquet Ah."
Wufeng's last words immediately made Wei Dongchen break out in a cold sweat, "My lord, you have to think carefully, I've told you everything I know, you have to think carefully about whether you can go."
"Hehe, what a joke! Is there anything I, Li Wufeng, would not dare to acquire on this one-acre-three-point land in the northwest? Isn't it just a few people? Can it really turn the world upside down? Dongchen, don't worry, even if there are any problems, nothing will happen. It's your relationship, I have my own measure." Wufeng laughed and stood up and patted the other person's shoulder, "We will see each other tonight."
At the beginning of the lights, the Hero Street, the broadest street in Qingyang City, is already crowded with people, horses are like swimming dragons, and the constant stream of carriages are constantly coming and going, including ordinary commercial carriages and finely crafted private vehicles , a shop next to each other is illuminated by various lanterns at the door, and the service staff who greeted the customers have already led the carriages of the guests outside the door, and at the same time led the guests into the shop, creating a busy scene.
The splendid Baofeng Building with golden walls can be regarded as a rather unique restaurant in Hero Street that specializes in the flavors of the Western Regions. From the inner house came the melodious sound of the huqin, which suddenly made people think that they had arrived in the Western Regions.
The service staff in charge looked at the burly man standing in the inner hall in surprise. He recognized this gentleman. He was the well-known Wei family uncle in the Northwest. How could he look like a receptionist? Walking back and forth in the hall anxiously, as if waiting for someone, who else in Qingyang City can let the uncle of the Wei family wait in this hall in person?
While Wei Dongchen was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the host and guest, there were already people waiting in a private seat in a small courtyard of the inner house.
"Old Lei, will this Li Wufeng not dare to come?" The woman's voice full of magnetism knew immediately that the woman named Zhu Niang, there was always a hint of provocation in her words.
"Zhu Niang, you have underestimated Li Wufeng too much. He is known as the Northwest King and he is under his rule. If he really breaks the promise, this kind of person doesn't matter. He doesn't even have the guts to dominate the world. It’s better to go home earlier and keep your wife and children warm.” The man surnamed Lei is the bronze-skinned man who was looking for an opportunity to visit the Northwest Water Camp by the Baixiang Lake, but he is dressed very formally today~IndoMTL.com ~ A long gown of the Tang nationality looks rough and a bit more refined.
"Hmph, that's hard to say, we haven't revealed our identities, maybe he doesn't bother to meet us?" The enchanting woman called Zhu Niang asked back.
"Then it can only be said that we have no fate with him, but I don't think he will be so hasty. The surname Wei who dealt with us is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Some people know, I think he will report to Li Wufeng as it is. Now we will see if Li Wufeng is interested." The man surnamed Lei smiled coldly and said thoughtfully.
"Oh? You mean that the surname Wei has some knowledge of our identity?" The enchanting woman was taken aback and asked.
"Of course it's my identity on Dadongyang, but guessing our details from our identity on Dadongyang may be a big problem for Li Wufeng from time to time. Besides, I don't intend to hide it from Li Wufeng if I want to talk to him today. It's not necessary. If they agree, they will join forces, if they don't, they will break up, so it's better to be more agile." The man with the surname Lei's tone was very flat, but the sparks in his eyes were burning and flickering.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, the man surnamed Lei and the enchanting woman exchanged glances, nodded, stood up, the door was pushed open, Wei Dongchen had already walked in first with a bow, a young man was holding a folding fan Walking in, the two calm-looking men behind him are protecting the two wings, one on the left and the other on the right, carefully looking at the furnishings and other things in the room.
"Brother Cangpu, Mrs. Zhu, come here, let me introduce you to me. This is Li Wufeng, our Northwest military and political envoy, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, these two are Mr. Lei and Mrs. Zhu." Wei Dongchen introduced with some hesitation, he didn't even know the woman's name, he only knew that the woman and the man surnamed Lei were fellow travelers, but not husband and wife.
