How could Sima Rulan know what Guo Loumeng was thinking? He walked to the table and sat down and said, "Yes, Mr. Hua left Okura Island at the beginning of the year. Ten months have passed now, and Lan'er has three hundred I haven’t seen Mr. Hua in twenty-five days,”
Guo Loumeng said: "Yes, yes, I have been away from Okura Island for more than ten months. Speaking of which, I really miss Miss Lan'er, but I don't know what the situation on the island is like now after I left."
After only hearing one sentence, he knew the other party's name, and the poisonous master was quite shrewd and immediately climbed up the pole without revealing any flaws.
Hearing Guo Loumeng say that he misses him very much, Sima Rulan's jade face turned red, but when he asked about Okura Island, he said: "The island is better now than before. The city wall has been expanded a few months ago. Once, the city increased by 30% compared to the original size, and this year's 'Purple Sky Conference' was very lively, with more than 200 merchants signing up to participate, but it's a pity that the princess is not here..."
Because it was a reunion after a long absence, Sima Rulan was inevitably a little shy and embarrassed when she first met the "Hua Bushi" in front of her. However, she is a cheerful and generous person. As soon as the situation in Okura City was mentioned, she immediately started talking. Box, and started talking eloquently.
Today's Okura Island is indeed much more prosperous than before.
After the destruction of the "Black Dragon Palace", no other pirate forces in the South China Sea can pose a threat to Okura Castle, and the routes to the western countries have become safer. The island's ocean-going cargo trade has flourished. Today, Okura Castle has It has a population of nearly 100,000. In addition to the people who migrated from the Mainland and Black Dragon Island, many indigenous people of the Baba tribe also moved to live in the city. The original city seemed too small, so "Wanjintang" decided to expand massively.
Half of the silver spent to expand the city wall came from the "Wanjintang", and the other half was donated by merchants in the city. Just because there is a larger city, it means more business, and these merchants can Make more money.
Compared with the current Ming Dynasty in the Middle-earth continent where wars are raging, famine is everywhere, and the people are in dire straits, Okura City is actually a paradise far away in the South China Sea.
Due to the addition of many shipping companies in the city, this year's "Zixiao Terrace Dog Fighting Conference" was also an unprecedented event. The number of registered contestants was almost doubled. The big white dog Princess was not on the island and finally won the title of "Dog King". It is called Gialuoli, a super powerful fighting dog raised by the Spanish noble Gongora. However, due to the increase in Chinese merchants in the city, and many shipping companies investing large sums of money in dog training, the Chinese dog has entered the top ten. The number of fighting dogs reached five, which was evenly matched with the fleets of Western countries.
Baoliang, the big brown-haired dog given by Hua Bushi, also performed well and ranked fifth.
Hearing what Sima Rulan said, Hua Bushi in the cabinet was quite emotional. Guo Loumeng, who was sitting at the table, didn't understand most things. Fortunately, he had a unique ability to put on pretense and would add a few words from time to time. The echoing words did not make Sima Rulan suspicious.
From Sima Rulan's words, Guo Loumeng roughly inferred that this girl was the city lord of a city far overseas. However, he was not interested in this at all. He just wanted to find out what happened to this Miss Lan'er and the evil dog. What is the relationship with the young master? Will arresting her be enough to make Hua Bushi obedient?
After Sima Rulan finished talking about the situation of the dog fighting conference, Guo Loumeng coughed twice and said: "In the past six months, I have been thinking about you all the time. I just wonder if Miss Lan'er has missed me."
This question was so ambiguous that Sima Rulan's face immediately turned red. He lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at Guo Loumeng in front of him, but he still nodded slightly.
She showed such a shy look, it was clear that she had feelings for Hua Bushi, and the relationship between the two must be extraordinary. Guo Loumeng was overjoyed, but in order to be more sure, he asked: "I don't know what Miss Lan'er thinks of me. Woolen cloth,"
Sima Rulan's pretty face turned even redder, and she didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she finally said: "Mr. Hua left by boat that day. Lan'er wanted to forget you and stay in Okura City for the rest of her life. Good luck. Manage the city and fulfill my father’s last wish. Uncle Chai and Uncle Yao also advised me in this way, and even asked someone to arrange a marriage for me. But for more than two hundred days, there is not a day when Laner doesn’t miss you and always remembers you. In the secret cave of Swallowing Whale Island, in the Black Dragon Palace, and what happened when we were together in the City Lord's Mansion, I simply can't get married to anyone else."
She lowered her head and her voice became lower and lower, as if she was dreaming or talking to herself.
"More than a month ago, Lan'er heard from Uncle Mo that Mr. Hua went to Yujing and was assassinated and seriously injured. I couldn't sleep for several days. I just thought about the difficulties that Okura City encountered that day and Mr. Hua risked his life to help. Now that you have encountered difficulties, Lan'er should do his best to repay you. Although Lan'er is stupid and has poor martial arts skills, if he can be by Mr. Hua's side, he can always be of some help. So I have put the affairs in the city They were all handed over to Uncle Yao and Uncle Chai, and they came to Middle-earth by boat,"
Sima Rulan bit her lower lip lightly, paused for a while, and then said: "Lan'er knows that doing this is a bit silly and very abrupt, but I really can't forget Mr. Hua, I think... I think... …”
The blush on her face had spread to the base of her neck, and it seemed that she had to use all her strength to say these words.
"I think...I have fallen in love with Mr. Hua..."
There is no word in the world that can make people's hearts move more than a girl's true confession. Hua Bushi in the wooden cabinet was in a state of confusion. For a moment, he felt pity, gratitude, concern, and all kinds of emotions rushing to his chest. At the same time, He was also extremely worried about Sima Rulan's safety, fearing that she would be caught by Guo Loumeng and be harmed.
The fake evil dog master sitting at the table was very happy at the moment. The girl said these words, which has undoubtedly proved that she and Hua Bushi are a couple who are in love with each other. As long as she is captured alive and brought back to Miao territory, , using the technique of "transforming blood", you won't be afraid that that boy will not obediently develop the secret method of changing blood.
Although this girl's martial arts is not weak, she is currently defenseless, so it is not difficult to control her by surprise.
Guo Loumeng had evil thoughts in his heart, but he said sweet words: "Actually, I also love you very much. The person I love most is you, Miss Lan'er."
While he was talking, he secretly transferred the poisonous power to his palm, and at the same time he stood up and leaned towards Sima Rulan.
However, just when Guo Loumeng was about to take action, he suddenly saw the expression of the girl in front of him change. A pair of beautiful eyes suddenly stared at his face, and she exclaimed: "Don't come here, you are not Mr. Hua,"
Guo Loumeng had always been very conceited about his ability to disguise himself. He was shocked when he heard this and said, "I am just like Hua Bushi. How can I be wrong? Could it be that we haven't seen each other for so long that you don't even recognize me?"
Sima Rulan shook her head and said: "No, although you look similar, you are not him. Who are you?"
Her tone was firm, and she had obviously determined that the person opposite was definitely not a good person, and this pretending act was finally over.
However, Guo Loumeng didn't care. Even if the other party was on guard, it wasn't too difficult to arrest him by force with his ability. He laughed dryly and said, "I'm indeed not Hua Bushi, I'm just his friend. Pretending to be him and joking with you, how did you recognize it?"
He originally planned to take action immediately after asking this question, but Sima Rulan's answer made him stop.
Just listen to Sima Rulan say: "You are not Mr. Hua, because he will never say what you just said, and the person he loves most is not Lan'er at all."
Although it doesn't matter whether he is a gangster or not, if Hua Bushi doesn't love this girl at all, then it would be meaningless to arrest her now.
The "Five Poison Divine Art" was lifted to both arms, and black mist gathered on Guo Loumeng's palms. However, he hesitated in his heart and stood there without making any move for a moment.
"If the one he loves most is not you, then who would it be," Guo Loumeng asked in a deep voice.
Sima Rulan suddenly lowered her head, and two crystal tears fell from her eyelashes.
The young girl had already seen through Guo Loumeng's disguise, and it was not surprising that she refused to answer, or even resisted. However, she suddenly shed tears, which puzzled the poisonous lord and couldn't help but ask: "I'm just It's just a pretense, why are you crying?"
Sima Rulan's tears flowed down her cheeks and she said: "Since you are Mr. Hua's friend, he must have asked you to come to see me, right?"
Just now, Guo Loumeng said that he was Hua Bushi's friend, but it was just casual talk, but he didn't expect that this girl would believe it, so he followed her words and said, "Yes, that guy asked me to come."
Sima Rulan said: "He refuses to see me, presumably because he hates Lan'er. I should have known that he has never liked me... He only has Sister Jiangyi in his heart..."
On Okura Island that day, Yao Yuanxiao and Chai Lin proposed marriage to the "Evil Dog Gate". Hua Bushi refused once, and even went to the city lord's palace in person to return the engagement token "Panlong Jue", which made Sima Ru Lan Ji was disappointed and sad.
This time she came to Middle-earth to look for Hua Bushi. Although she had the intention of repaying her help that day and had no extravagant expectations of having any consequences with Hua Bushi, her heart was still uneasy and she had thought about Mr. Hua countless times. Do you not want to see yourself, or how do you get along with Yang Jiangyi when you meet her, etc.
For a girl who is just beginning to have a love affair, this kind of thinking is quite normal.
Sima Rulan had just arrived in Kaifeng City, and Chu Yiyi got the news and came to the inn to meet her, and made an appointment with her to meet Hua Bushi in Xiaochun Building. She was very excited and happy, but now she realized that what she saw The person is a fake.
She was pure in heart and did not expect that Hua Bushi would be held hostage. She only felt that Chu Yiyi should not have lied to her. Since this fake person claimed to be Mr. Hua's friend, she thought that all this was arranged by the young master.
She traveled thousands of miles from Okura Island to the Middle-earth Continent, abandoning the girl's reserve, but the person she was looking for refused to meet even once. No wonder she felt aggrieved and shed tears.
