Chapter 310 Iron Sword Mountain and River See you again at the end of the world (Part 2)
Ning Yi didn't know that Lu Hongti had heard his conversation with his wife on the roof before, so he naturally could not have too many associations with her reaction. From the beginning to the end, he could only talk casually, and there was no question of being too ambitious. The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional.
Of course, even in some situations, a female hero like Hongti will be particularly emotional, but it does not mean that her heart will be touched to a certain extent. It can even be said that even though she does not hate Ning Yi and even has admiration and admiration, in her heart, some of the thoughts and possibilities she had when she went down the mountain have actually been dispelled. The man in front of her is not an existence in the same world as her. With this recognition, the rest becomes simple.
Since he had decided to return to Jiangning as soon as possible, Ning Yi found an official ship through the Tang family's relationship the next morning. Various wealthy officials and businessmen in Jiangnan were mixed up, and the good relationship they had made on the way to escape could have influence even in Zhenjiang. Although bigwigs like Tang Xiuxuan were not in Zhenjiang, they learned that he was leaving, and some of the children of the Tang family or wealthy people who had received favors rushed over and said that if there were any troubles in the future, they would definitely be willing to go to them. The Su family is a businessman, and if they wanted to do any business, everyone would also say politely.
When Ning Yi was on the way to escape, after Ning Yi was unconscious, the entire team was in a dilemma. Later, he learned that the pursuers wanted to capture Ning Yi, and some of them had used some means to turn the pursuits' attention to him as much as possible. For example, when An Xifu and others attacked the bombing camp, they specially sent a team of troops to protect Ning Yi, which was actually a noticeable and unnecessary move. After Ning Yi was arrested, he vaguely tried to make the whole thing happen, but he did not intend to pursue what happened in that situation. The other party was just a small move to follow the flow, not a malice to harm others. After all, Ning Yi never expected how high the people around him had at that time, and did not regard the other party as a companion. Such a thing could not be said to be completely unexpected.
Now that they are back, they are willing to make a good relationship, so there is no need to be polite. When they left Hangzhou, the business they were about to give up because of the Lou family, can now be directly spread to the Grand Canal through these relationships.
Su Tan'er is nearly nine months pregnant. Every day he delays, the closer the day of childbirth is to the day. Therefore, at noon that day, the family boarded the boat. The official ship is the largest ship that can be found in the inland waterways. Even if it goes up the Yangtze River, the journey is quite stable. The boat is divided into two floors. Ning Yi and others are arranged in the room that cannot feel the bumps on the floor. As expected, they will rest for a few hours at night and will arrive in Jiangning in the evening the next day.
On February 28, 10th year of Jinghan, in the bright spring, a huge tower ship that was flowing upstream slowly passed through the Yangtze River waterway, with lush trees on both sides. Occasionally, the fields of rice fields, farmhouses and villages flashed in sight. Lu Hongti stood at the bow of the boat and watched all this, telling Ning Yi about his plan to leave.
"After getting off the boat tomorrow evening, I will go north and I won't go into the city."
Ning Yi was silent for a while: "I know you are in a hurry to go back, but it's not a short time for these few days, let alone the ideas I have to give you have not been completely sorted out yet. Stay for a few more days and take you to have a good look at Jiangning."
Lu Hongti smiled and said, "I know you have already sorted out almost everything. This should be your habit. Don't delay anything."
"It's a bad habit..."
"And after you go back, there should be a lot of things to deal with at home, and you have to be dedicated to treating me. There is no need. Besides, I've really been out for too long this time. If I can go back one day earlier, it's better to go back one day. After all, there are a lot of things I have to do."
Lu Hong's comments were sincere, not just to be polite. Ning Yi thought for a while: "If it was a little at home, there was really nothing to be busy with. It was very simple, but since you..."
"I am really worried about being in the village. I have been out for too long, so I am very thinking about it." Lu Hongti said with a smile.
"Yeah." Ning Yi nodded, "Then I'll get everything ready tonight."
"Thank you." Lu Hong bowed.
"We don't need to say these pretentious words, children of the world."
"Haha..." Lu Hongti smiled and his whole body was trembling, "I have also written a small notebook for you. It is not the kind of secret book you mentioned in your martial arts stories, but it should be useful to you. In the future, you may not become a top-notch master, but if you continue practicing, you will have more than three to five years of self-defense."
"I said...what does the concept of a first-class expert you are talking about..."
"The owner of the watermelon manor who has something to do with you in Badao Camp, General Manager Liu Tiannan, Chen Fan, his master Fang Qifo, Li Tianrun, Wang Yin and even Bao Daoyi who was killed by you can be considered first-class. You are distracted and your foundation is unstable, and you may not be able to reach that level in your life." Lu Hong said with a smile.
Ning Yi will naturally not be hit by such things. If Lu Hongti said that he could fight these people alone, he would feel that the world was very fantastic. He thought for a while: "Would Fang Shuchang and others count?"
"Those seven are almost the same. Mr. Du Sha, who ranked first, has reached the threshold of first-class. The most powerful person at present is the 'Jin Evil Knife' Luo Bingren. He is just that he has always been low-key, but the best qualified is Qian Luoning, who ranked last. In the future, his achievements should be above other companions. You can't reach it. If you work harder in the future...well, it should be similar to Fang Shuchang now."
Her martial arts are probably at the level of a master at the moment, and she can't be wrong with the comments she said. As she said this, she looked at Ning Yi for a while, and then sighed and murmured with some sigh: "However, the level of combat power is not something that can be judged by..." It was probably because of Ning Yi's perverted nature, decisive methods, and always able to control the hearts and nature of the people, which is very accessible to everyone.
Of course, she wouldn't say these directly to Ning Yi. She chatted for a few more words and sighed: "Actually, there is something I've always wanted to ask about along the way..."
"What?"
"Is it really possible that what you did in Badao Village and what you told Miss Liu?"
Ning Yi glanced at her: "There are probably some enthusiastic people who can ask these questions..."
"Um?"
"I don't know." Ning Yi said, "I don't know what it will become if I continue to do it. It may be useful to do it seriously. Maybe in a hundred years or two hundred years, some people will realize something, but it may also be. These things will be buried for four or five hundred years before someone discovers them. But no matter what, as long as it is within eight hundred years, we will take the lead..."
In the last sentence of eight hundred years, Lu Hongti couldn't understand what it means. But Ning Yi usually said some weird words, and she got used to it. Ning Yi smiled and shook his head, and continued, "You don't have to think about them for the time being... Of course, it's okay to think about it, but you can't do anything. You should do some pragmatic things first. To be honest, the siege of Hangzhou has been resolved, and I don't know if I have the need to go to Beijing now, and... If I really make a big splash in the future, I might have to go to you."
"Hmm?" Lu Hongti blinked, quite interested.
"People always do things like this. At the beginning, they just want to do something. In the middle, you will meet all kinds of people and things, offending people who are not easy to offend. Using methods that should not be used, in the end... I am afraid that these things will overwhelm the original intention. Do you know? Most of the officials in the court are capable. At the beginning, they also had a patriotic and serve the country, but gradually, the interests they gathered behind them are different and the directions are different. The interests that need to be maintained at the moment are more important than the original idea. I am probably no different from them, and... I am afraid I will be more rude than them, and one day in the future, I will have to be a bandit."
"I welcome." Without any hesitation, Lu Hongti said with a smile. "It would be too much, if this day really happened, I'll wait for you to come."
"I will try my best to restrain myself."
Both of them laughed. After a while, Lu Hong looked back and saw Su Tan'er and others not here. He whispered: "Your wife is actually very nice to you. Do you know? During the time I was surveillance of her in Huzhou, the servants around him said that if you really die, your wife would probably ignore the fetus in her belly and follow you. If a woman can do this, she really likes you. I...I admire her a little."
Ning Yi nodded suang: "...know."
"What should I do if that girl Nie in Jiangning? She is also a good woman. I know that she has a rough life in the early years and has become a worldly silence, but she has always been clean and now she likes you wholeheartedly. If you abandon her, she will have nothing. What should you do?"
Surprisingly, Ning Yi didn't hesitate much: "What do you think?"
"I don't know...but you men always have three wives and four concubines. Haha, you always meet good women, and there is also Miss Liu..."
"Hey." Ning Yi turned his head and smiled at her, "This is too much, there is no need to pull everything on me..."
"You just answered so quickly, which means you have been thinking about these things, which is not heartless." Lu Hongti said with a smile, "What are you doing? What are the results you came up with?"
Ning Yi looked at her: "If I split up with Yun Zhu for the sake of Tan'er and don't interact with each other again from now on, what do you think?"
Lu Hongti looked at him without saying anything and frowned slightly.
"If I left the Su family like this for Yun Zhu, what do you think... Lu Hongti frowned and still didn't answer. Although this was the era of three wives and four concubines, he just had a lighter idea of being dedicated to men. The reason why Lu Hongti asked was probably because he hoped that Ning Yi himself was a relatively perfect person.
Ning Yi lowered his head and looked at his hand, back of his hand, and palm: "Actually, there was a time when I wanted to leave the Su family for Yunzhu, but it didn't work. Recently, I'm actually considering separating from Yunzhu for Tan'er, but..."
Ning Yi shook his head, smiled, and didn't say anything else in the end. Su Tan'er pursed her lips, and then smiled slightly, as if she thought Ning Yi would have such a tangled time. The two chatted like this for a while, and after dinner at night, the boat stopped in a village on the way, rested here at night, and rented a farmhouse yard to live in. After the lights were raised, Lu Hongti heard Ning Yi's voice coming from the yard: "But there was a scholar named Ning Caichen, who..."
Xiaochan was talking: "Son-in-law...uh, my husband, I have heard this story before..." Although Xiaochan married Ning Yi for a while, she often blurted out Ning Yi as a son-in-law.
"If you have heard it, you will listen again."
Lu Hongti knew that the family had a very harmonious relationship. He chatted at night, told stories, played chess or cards, and even if maids like Juaner and Xing'er embroidered soles, Ning Yi could always find something to do with them. She walked out the door, and Su Tan'er was also sitting under the eaves over there. After all, the weather was getting warmer. You can enjoy the moon and stars in the yard on such days. Of course, at the end of the month, there were only stars in the sky.
Ning Yi said the story called "A Chinese Ghost Story" that she had heard more than a year ago but had not finished. When she came out, Su Tan'er and others waved to her. She moved a stool and sat down at Su Tan'er's farthest place from Ning Yi.
"...But after Ning Caichen met Nie Xiaoqian in Lanruo Temple... Yan Chixia shouted 'The world is invincible, the universe borrows the method', and eight swords flew towards the old demon in the Black Mountain at the same time... Finally, Nie Xiaoqian finished saying this to Ning Caichen..."
The stars were blurred, Ning Yi sat there and told this not-so-long story. After that, he said a story called "The Girl of Plum". From beginning to end, he did not discuss with Lu Hong.
After the story was finished, it was already late at night. The next morning, the official ship set off early in the morning. By the afternoon, it was approaching Jiangning. Lu Hongti packed up his small bag and prepared to get off the boat near Jiangning.
"The story I promised to tell you last time was finally finished."
"I thought you had to keep it a secret for the second story."
"Will it be a thousand and one night..."
When she handed over the booklets and other items she wrote, Ning Yi said this, then laughed and handed her a stack of silver notes: "There are a total of 24,000 taels of silver. The limit that can be taken out recently is to be my investment, or the Su family's investment."
Lu Hong frowned: "We... don't lack these..."
"Money can make money, not for you to use it internally, but for those merchants to buy things, and first run these investments. These silver notes can be exchanged within the pass, so they will not not be charged. Good weapons and armor are the most important. You must also invest in training and use food. But don't keep lazy people, let them eat, live and suffer together, and practice to the death. Haha, these are the most important things you know after all. Martial power is the foundation, and it can be expanded by economic operation. Everything is inside. Your Grandpa Liang is very powerful, show it to him. I'm still waiting to come to you to take refuge one day in the future."
"Then I'll wait for that day to come early." Lu Hongti received the silver notes and looked at him with a smile, feeling a little reluctant to say anything, but finally said with a smile, "Whether Miss Su or Miss Nie are treated well, they are worthy of these, and you... deserve them like this. Don't let them down, don't mess it up."
Ning Yi nodded: "I know, I will tell you a story next time, and I will listen to you in Luliang. If you have any trouble, you can come to the capital to find me. I will stand on your side."
Lu Hongti looked at him, his face changed, he was silent for a moment, and he smiled openly and nodded, "Okay."
Lu Hongti got off the boat on the north bank of the Yangtze River. After saying that there would be a period of time, Ning Yi returned to the boat. They watched the woman with high martial arts skills but alone ride a horse and gradually walk away in the mountains there.
Half an hour later, the ship entered Jiangning and approached the shore at the pier.
Jiangning is still the lively scene in the past. People come and go to the nearby Su family warehouse to pick up the carriage. The shopkeeper here came to see Su Tan'er and Ning Yi, and then talked about some changes in the family in recent times. In fact, Su Tan'er said that she was going to Hangzhou to relax. If everything was fine, the Su family might have been quiet. But since the war broke out in Hangzhou and Ning Yi and others lost their news there, the second and third rooms of the Su family must have been in a state of movement. What will change over such a long time must have changed a lot.
Listening to the message brought by the shopkeeper, Su Tan'er leaned against Ning Yi and just smiled faintly. Ning Yi then helped her into the carriage.
The sunset has already set, and the redness of spring is rendered in the distance: "Let's go." They looked at the street scene of Jiangning in the distance, "Look at what the home has become."
The carriage drove through the street, the sunlight fell, and the wind blew the willow trees on the side of the road, as if thinking that they were waving their hands. Ning Yi looked at the scene in the distance through the car window. The tributaries of the Qinhuai River occasionally turned out from their sight, and the sunset waves rippled on the water. Ning Yi knew that there would be a small building on a certain river beside this city, and there was a man waiting for his return... The power outage was cut off yesterday afternoon and the internet was cut off this afternoon. Could my plan to update the situation has already alarmed God?
Of course, I will continue... (To be continued)!~!
