In summer, there are gradually more and more people on the pasture.
Master Nomura and Mr. Li's cousin have been in the mountains for ten days, and it's time to come back.
Jingchi Xuemei was in a bad mood and worried about Mr. Li's health, so she stayed at Tianye Ranch for the next week.
Every morning, Jingchi Xuemei will accompany Mr. Li; sometimes she will be very happy, sometimes she will be in a very depressed mood. This directly affects her work in the afternoon, and only when Mr. Li is taking a bath in the hot spring, Jingchi Xuemei will sit down
In the newly established office at the ranch, we discussed matters with people at the Tokyo headquarters via video phone.
Ichi Xuemi is not a fool, Zhu Tong just told a few stories, implying that under the current situation, Ichi Xuemi cannot completely trust any party; the Matsui family and the Ikeda family have been fighting together with the Ichi family for eight hundred years, then
It is the basic strength of the family.
As the current actual controller of the family consortium, Iningchi Xuemi has very little experience. It was indeed very difficult in the previous period, so many decisions had to be made based on the opinions of Smith's think tank. She is smart and quickly understood the situation she was in.
On the verge of danger, it is not a qualified family leader to let others think for you; that will not only develop dependence on outsiders and become lazy or even stupid, but more importantly, it will destroy the traditional ideas that support the family.
So Ichixuemi began to reflect on herself, followed Mr. Li's advice, and thought about how to be a balancer who controls the overall situation, rather than being a puppet of one party.
That afternoon, Zhu Tong still soaked in the hot spring as usual, trying his best to use Peng Ma Gong to absorb the heat of the hot spring to consolidate his suppression of the Butterfly God.
This kind of effort goes on every day, and he has been able to gradually draw out a little bit of Qi to try to treat the injuries in his lungs; just like the previous times, as soon as the Qi enters the lungs, it is like falling into a bottomless pit, and there is no movement anymore. Phoenix
Is this how the mask exhausts its energy? Zhu Tong reluctantly stopped testing.
This result is desperate. If even the Phoenix Mask and your own Qi have no effect on the lung injury, then even if Master Zhu Huang or the old liar comes to use the magic word, it will not have much effect. The magic word
The basis of it is Peng Ma Gong. People are different, but the principle is the same.
The sound of footsteps was heard in the distance. Zhu Tong put away his meditating posture, closed his eyes and lay down softly.
Who will come? At this time, there are only four people who can get close to the hot spring; Bai Jiashu, Zheng Shurong, the female living Buddha Qusangzhuomu, and Miss Jingchi Xuemei.
The footsteps were unfamiliar, heavy, and the steps were very long, indicating that the person who came was at least about 1.9 meters tall and weighed about 100 kilograms.
Zhu Tong judged and screened, and found that most of the jockeys at Tianye Ranch were short in stature, which was needed for competition. Zhu Tong also knew that those jockeys were actually practitioners, and the entire Tianye Ranch could also be said to be a ninja training camp.
There are no such strong people.
So, this uninvited guest should be from outside the ranch. Who is it? It can't be Mr. Smith Wasenberg, right?
"Hi! Hello, please allow me to enjoy the warmth of the hot springs. I'm really exhausted after taking a three-hour train and two-hour bus ride."
The visitor spoke English, and Zhu Tong could only understand the general meaning; in the mist, a tall and muscular European sat in the hot spring.
Just like Westerners can't tell the age of Easterners, Zhu Tong can't accurately judge his age. There is always someone in his forties. The muscles on his body are well developed and well-proportioned, and he should be a guy who likes sports. Well,
Blonde and blue-eyed, with a slightly smaller face compared to his huge body; rough skin and a patch of hair on his chest; he should be the legendary standard European handsome man.
"Pfft..." Zhu Tong blew to dispel the mist between the two, and saw eyes like double eagles. His left hand was stroking his chin, and Zhu Tong saw the silver crocodile ring on his ring finger.
Two tiny diamonds shine with greed from the crocodile's eyes.
"You should be Mr. Li, right? My name is Smith, Smith-Wasenberg, Ms. Xuemei's lawyer." Sure enough, it was him. Zhu Tong pointed to his ears, indicating that the other party did not understand what he was saying. Facts
On top of that, his English proficiency was only picked up when he took the postgraduate entrance examination at the beginning of the year. His listening skills were relatively good, but it was really difficult to cope with such a conversation.
"You're not going to wash up? Don't leave in a hurry. I'm just here to see you. I know you are a doctor and have just passed the postgraduate examination. We know something about China's examination system. You may not be able to say anything, but there should be no problem listening.
.”
Zhu Tong stood up with a cold face, and Smith also stood up to stop him: "Mr. Li Xiang, Miss Jingchi Xuemei is the only heir of the Jingchi family. Do you know what this means? It is impossible for her to marry a man from China.
Doctor. Twenty days ago, Miss Yukimi signed a formal agreement with the Matsui family and the Ikeda family. There is this article: If Miss Yukimi gets married, she can only choose a husband from the Matsui family or the Ikeda family. If she violates this agreement,
You will automatically lose control of the Jingchi Consortium."
Smith stopped here and gave Zhu Tong some time to digest and understand, and then continued: "There is no doubt that Miss Xuemei has a crush on you. In fact, she is free before marriage and can be with anyone.
Play the emotional game. But don’t think of yourself as a unique hero. There are more men than women in the world.”
Zhu Tong still didn't speak. He only had a preliminary understanding of this opponent who finally showed up; he needed further information. Since Smith could drive Matsui Shiki out of the family, he must be a sinister and cunning character. He is not more than 70% sure about the little liar.
He won't take action directly; maybe he doesn't need to take action at all, Jingchi Xuemi has already started to think about it.
It is necessary to give him a lesson, but you cannot let him see his true intentions and strength.
"Japanese hot springs are as charming as Japanese women. Wouldn't you like to take a dip for a while? I think I should give you a suggestion: I will be very happy if you can leave Japan within three days. In return, you will get a
The check is enough for you to live comfortably in China for a lifetime, and you have enough money to pay for the best doctors to treat you. Even your descendants will enjoy the care of this check, if you don't try to live a luxurious life.
.”
Smith sat back in the hot spring, watched Zhu Tong get dressed, and praised: "You have very good muscles."
"Mr. Smith, I only live for myself, and I will not let anyone manipulate me casually." Zhu Tong finally listed a suitable sentence to end the first meeting. He could not be misunderstood as a mute.
"That's a pity. I think Mr. Li is a smart man and will consider my suggestion carefully. Tianye Racecourse produces the best horse racing. This is a very noble sport. Only noble knights can participate; without passing
If a trained daredevil mounts the horse rashly, he will make a fool of himself and be ridiculed by others, and he will also run great risks."
Zhu Tong had already put on his clothes, smiled and nodded at Smith, coughed and waved, and a handsome white horse ran over.
Smith watched him skillfully get on the horse and gradually go away, with a puzzled look on his face. This doctor didn't seem to be an easy character to deal with; he clearly understood what he meant and could still maintain a nonchalant expression. Such a person was not
A fool is an adventurer.
I hope he is the former. Smith doesn't want to see blood again, and Miss Xuemei will become suspicious. They have been working hard for this plan for five years, and any accident is not allowed. If it fails, the committee will deprive him of his
seat, that means he is kicked out of the table.
"God, he's not a fool." Smith Wasenberg stroked the silver crocodile ring and confirmed his judgment.
Zhu Tongxin Ma Youjuan is also thinking about Smith.
There was still no movement from the watch on his wrist. What was the origin of Smith that made Qin Keqiang or Lan Zhanjiang take so long to investigate? Before today, Zhu Tong had been puzzled, but now he understands a little bit.
Another white horse galloped over, and the rider on the horse was Ichi Xuemi. As soon as she got the news that Mr. Smith had arrived at the hot spring, she rushed over just in time to meet Mr. Li. This was her fastest speed.
Horses are the only means of transportation on the ranch, and no vehicles are allowed here, except horse-drawn carriages.
"Li Jun..." From the outside, although he could not tell that he was unhappy, Jingchi Xuemei was still careful to test him. This man's temper was really hard to figure out.
"Miss Xuemei, why are you here?" Zhu Tong showed a bright smile. In the gloomy half-night, this smile was so gentle.
"Mr. Smith doesn't know the rules. He didn't offend you, right?" Ichi Xuemi was still worried.
"It's nothing. Guests are not to be neglected. I understand Miss Xuemei's difficulty. By the way, is there any news about my cousin?"
"I came back in the afternoon. Master Nomura was slightly injured. They found a lot of rare medicinal materials in the mountains. Sister Zhu Yuan is sorting them out."
Jingchi Xuemei rode slowly alongside him, but she was still very nervous. Fortunately, the considerate Li Jun didn't seem to be angry at all, and he looked gentle and elegant until he returned to the villa.
As expected, the female living Buddha Qusangzhuom was sorting herbs in front of the villa. These are herbs that are effective in treating asthma and lung diseases and are not commonly seen on the market.
"Dear brother, you look better. Look, for these medicines we climbed up the most dangerous mountain and found them in a canyon that no one has ever been to."
Qusandrom is talking about a kind of herbal medicine that grows under the fir trees. The reason why these are needed is because of Mrs. Lan's suggestion. She once suggested that Zhu Tong receive aromatherapy treatment, but there is no good way now anyway, so Zhu Tong agreed to try it.
A room in the villa has been transformed into an aromatherapy facility, and Master Hui Heji has also participated. His small temple is just outside Tianye Ranch. He has brought all the guys to the villa and tried his best to please Mr. Li.
However, Zhu Tong did not trust Hui Heji, so the aromatherapy was stopped after only two days. Zhu Tong felt that the effect was limited and he had not yet felt comfortable in the hot springs.
After Qusangzhuom arrived, he discussed with Hui Heji and suggested the use of aromatherapy again, but the medicine used had to be changed. This time, Jingchi Xuemei took out the medicine prescribed by Mrs. Lan.
There are also many mysterious places in Tibetan medicine, including therapies similar to aromatherapy. As a female living Buddha, Qusangzhuomu, the classics of Medicine Buddha are a required course for her group; she consulted the aromatherapy and indigo techniques compiled by Zheng Shurong.
Madam's prescription was decided after discussing with Bai Jiashu and going to the mountains to collect herbs.
Originally he was supposed to go back to Heji to accompany her, but the master was too old to walk the mountainous roads. Only then did Nomura Hanahai volunteer to take the female living Buddha to the mountains west of Kyoto to collect medicine.
