Chapter 93 Beauty is like jade
Chapter 93 Beauty is like jade
Gold Riviera, Central, Kowloon
Xiang Hongying was sitting in the lobby with Xiang Yihai, whose injuries had mostly healed, drinking tea and listening to Li Yutang telling stories about the strange things he had seen in Southeast Asia when he was young.
Li Yutang talked about everything from Jiaozhi to India, from medicinal materials to the major forces in Southeast Asia. It was not until he talked about the many pirates in Southeast Asia that Li Bingwu interjected at the right time.
"Brother Yu, have there been any great thieves and tyrants in Nanyang in the past few decades? We are all northerners who have lived in Tianjin for a long time, but we don't know much about these seafarers who make a living on southern ships."
"Except for Tianbaozi a hundred years ago, Zheng and Huang are the only two capable pirates in the past few decades. Unfortunately, with the advent of foreign ironclad ships, these pirates are having a hard time now."
When talking about foreigners and pirates, Li Yutang's tone was also sighing, but Xiang Hongying began to worry about Qin Huai for no reason.
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Li, do you think that the heavy rain tonight will delay Ah Huai's work?
It's pitch dark here, and he has no one to look after him. What should he do if something goes wrong?"
"Yeah, why didn't Xiao Qin ask you to go with him?
Haven't you always said that if you two were holding guns, no one but a grandmaster could stop you?
He said he was very confident about this trip, but you should still buy him some insurance."
Li Yutang also looked at Li Bingwu with Xiang Yihai and his daughter, wanting to see if Li Bingwu had any explanation.
Li Bingwu saw that the three people's eyes were focused on him, so he could only spread his hands, looking helpless.
"Someone has to watch over the house. If I go with them, what if those cold-blooded killers raid Jinliyuan again? Can you stop them?"
The patients, women and businessmen in the field looked at each other and nodded.
"And don't worry too much. Ah Huai said he found a helper to help you. Don't worry."
The three of them thought about Qin Huai's reliable performance in the past, and had no choice but to continue to be worried, chatting about this and that.
"Uncle Li, notify your friend in the police department to go to Kowloon Walled City to collect the bodies tomorrow!"
Qin Huai walked into the lobby with a strong smell of water vapor and blood. He put down the sword and gun in his hand and greeted Li Yutang.
"Ah Huai!"
Xiang Hongying saw that Qin Huai had a deep gash on his chest where the bone was visible, so she hurried over with Li Yutang to see if they could help.
"It's okay, thanks to the pot of Eight Treasures Soup that Uncle Li and Master Shan made for me. It replenished a lot of energy after I finished my work.
It's really okay! Can't you see that the wound has started to scab over? "
Li Yutang looked at Qin Huai, whose complexion was ruddy and whose pulse was steady, and nodded.
"Ahuai, what did you do? It doesn't matter if the gun breaks into two pieces, just don't hurt yourself!"
Li Bingwu was aware of Qin Huai's methods, but he was relieved to see him return safely.
Li Bingwu looked at the broken end of the steel gun in his hand, and caught a glimpse of the big gash on Qin Huai's chest. He also realized that tonight's work would not be as easy as Qin Huai said, but he didn't ask too much. He could only use the gun as an example to express his concern silently.
"The King of Hell sent by the Qing court has been sent back to the underworld tonight. As for whether they will send someone new, I don't know."
"Okay, okay! Xiao Qin, you still have the means. Huang Xi will definitely be very happy to know this news."
Li Yutang pounded his fist into his palm, a little excited, and immediately planned to ask the coachman to go out and find Chen Huangxi.
"Uncle Li, it's raining heavily tonight, let's go find Mr. Chen tomorrow.
However, don't blame me for being nosy. I advise you not to take it lightly. The Qing court has many eyes and ears, and there might be some hidden tricks. If something unexpected happens, it will be terrible if you are caught off guard."
"That makes sense, that makes sense. It's really late today, everyone should go to bed early."
Li Yutang suppressed his emotions, bowed, and went back to his room to rest.
Xiang Hongying looked at Qin Huai and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it.
Qin Huai looked at Xiang Hongying who was helping his father back to his room, smiled, said hello to Li Bingwu, and went back to his room.
Beside the bed, Qin Huai, with five or six layers of snow-white gauze wrapped around his chest, was looking at the ghost-headed knife in his hand under the light.
A slender black shadow flashed into the bedroom and tiptoed towards Qin Huai, who was observing the knife under the lamp.
"Hongying, why are you still not asleep so late? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Qin Huai didn't turn around, but after hearing the footsteps of the person coming, he still asked softly.
"Thank you for killing Yan Xiaoguo today. Although my father didn't say anything, as his daughter, I still understand his thoughts." "This is what I should do both emotionally and logically. You don't have to come here specially."
The beautiful woman climbed up the broad shoulders with her jade hands and came to the man's side. Qin Huai also put down the knife and turned around to hug Xiang Hongying's tight waist.
"Didn't you ask me to help you keep an eye on the open and covert struggles between the Li family and the foreigners recently?
I asked Mr. Huang Xi to find a few businessmen who bid for shares that day and had a meal with them.
From what they said, they all wanted to sell those shares, and judging by their words and expressions, they seemed quite eager to do so. "
Xiang Hongying sat on Qin Huai's legs, her fingers gently running across the gauze, whispering about what she had gained in the past few days.
"That's about it. It's time for the bomb I planted to explode. Once I finish dealing with the secret medicine in the next two days, I won't have to be so busy anymore."
"It's still necessary to use knives and guns, right?"
"Well, those foreigners have evil intentions. If we don't hurt them, they will forget the pain after their wounds heal and come back again."
Qin Huai smelled the faint scent of jasmine and touched Xiang Hongying's hair. The soft black hair passed through his fingers and felt very good.
"So, when are you going to marry me?"
The woman whispered softly, a blush on her cheeks, and the gradually rising temperature in her arms made Qin Huai at a loss for a moment.
After hesitating for a while, Qin Huai finally gave an answer.
"wait me back."
"You want to leave? Where to go?"
Xiang Hongying stared into Qin Huai's eyes, somewhat puzzled.
“I have been in Hong Kong and Guangdong for half a year. Logically, I should have left two months ago.
I can't stop asking about boxing. I'm afraid if I stop I won't be able to move forward again.
After I have seen the vastness of the world, I will come back to marry you."
Qin Huai held Rouchi in his big hand, speaking in a firm tone.
Xiang Hongying wanted to persuade him to stay, but she didn't want to be the kind of gentle woman that the hero would indulge in. The two looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
"My father is seriously injured and needs my good care and recovery.
I'm afraid I can't leave with you this time and be your lover forever."
After a long time, Xiang Hongying's voice became a little low. Qin Huai listened and had to hold the two small hands tightly.
"Three years, at most three years, I will definitely come back!"
“I always believe what you say.
Then, I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Xiang Hongying tilted her head and whispered into the man's ear, and the hot air she exhaled made Qin Huai feel a little hot.
Feeling the slightly hot and soft body of the beauty in his arms, Qin Huai's breathing became heavy.
Suddenly, Xiang Hongying exerted a little force and pushed Qin Huai onto the bed with a flick of her jade finger. Qin Huai also pulled her along, and Xiang Hongying pounced on him.
Tonight, the Liuhe Spear finally has a matching red tassel.
Outside the house, there was heavy rain; inside the house, we stayed at Qinhuai for the night.
