Chapter 186 The Du Brothers
On the lake not far away, a large two-masted boat spotted them and turned its bow towards their small sampan.
Lan Qiao slapped his thigh, pretending to be excited and said, "We are saved."
"It's really annoying." Li Jingshu rolled her eyes at him charmingly. She didn't know whether it was because the boat was annoying, or because Lan Qiao was trying to change the subject. "Hey, you said when the people on the boat saw the two of us,
What do you think about the appearance?”
Lan Qiao knew she was referring to the way her dress was torn, and helplessly said, "Are you cold?"
Li Jingshu shook her head. Although her clothes were disheveled, she didn't feel cold in Yueyang in May.
"It must be cold." As he spoke, Lan Qiao picked up the sail with his sword, wrapped it around Li Jingshu, and said loudly, "You are wrapped up because you are afraid of the cold."
"People know it." Li Jingshu said with clear eyes, feeling aggrieved.
The two-masted ship approached, with three people standing proudly on the bow.
Lan Qiao didn't recognize the rugged man with a leopard head and ringed eyes in the middle, but the two people on his left and right recognized him. A handsome young man standing proudly on his left was Du, whom Lan Qiao had met the day before in Wulin Town.
Shocked, a man in a white robe on the other side smiled casually at Lan Qiao, but it was Feng Yueming who had not seen his uncle for decades.
Feng Yueming's eyes passed over Lanqiao, and finally fell on Li Jingshu. She smiled lightly and said, "Miss Li, long time no see."
Li Jingshu was wrapped in a sail, with only a small section of her smooth jade legs exposed. She squatted respectfully toward Feng Yueming and said, "Xiao Shu, please give my regards to the young Marquis."
"Don't dare, don't dare." Feng Yueming quickly waved his hands and said, "As a lady, Feng is definitely not worthy of being a relative." At this time, Lan Qiao reluctantly picked up Li Jingshu and jumped onto the ship, saying to Du Zhen, "Brother Du, we meet again.
"
Du Zhen glanced at Li Jingshu, clicked his tongue and said in wonder, "It turns out that you are the eldest son of Uncle Dingyuan's family. No wonder there are always beauties accompanying you when you go out. Each of them has his own beauty."
"Oh, you all know each other, so we are all our own people." Seeing Lan Qiao and Du Zhen talking to each other, the leader of the rough man extended his hand to Lan Qiao and said in a loud voice, "I am Du Long, the leader of the Dongting Gang. Next to me is this guy.
My brother Du Zhen, Mr. Lan’s injury is”
Lan Qiao thought of what Li Jingshu said about the Four Hegemons of Yuezhou. He looked at Du Long, the leader of the four hegemons, up and down, cupped his fists and bowed to him, then turned to Du Zhen and said, "It turns out that Brother Du is the second-in-command of the Dongting Gang. No wonder he was in Wulin Town that day."
Extremely majestic.”
He originally didn't want to mention his injury, but he didn't expect that Li Jingshu told him about the danger in Qionglu Tiange.
As soon as Feng Yueming heard Li Jingshu's description, she knew that the enemy they encountered was Arutai. She admired Lan Qiao's ability to escape from the Bishui Jietian Tower, but also felt scared for him about what happened last night.
When Du Zhen heard that Li Jingshu was looking for the jewelry and dowry given by the emperor, he was surprised and said, "This girl is"
Du Long smiled and explained, "Miss Li is the apple of Mr. Jiangpu Hongyi and Princess Lin'an's eyes. She has a distinguished status. She has done several medicinal materials business with me, so she is an old acquaintance, but this is the first time you have met her."
Li Jingshu leaned forward, smiled to herself and said, "Gang Leader Du, don't praise Xiao Shu anymore. What kind of words can be said about a little girl who is at the end of her life?"
Du Zhen knew nothing about the imperial family, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out Li Jingshu's identity. He only knew that she was a big shot with a special status. He scratched his head and said, "Since she is a distinguished lady, how can she be allowed to stand on the bow of the boat and talk?"
, come, let’s go to the cabin and talk.”
Du Long waved his hand, said "please", and led everyone into the cabin. Although Du Long looked rough and unruly, he was enthusiastic and spoke with sincerity.
Feng Yueming deliberately took a step back, pouted at Li Jingshu's back, and cast a questioning look at Lan Qiao. Lan Qiao spread his hands and then crossed his arms in front of his chest, indicating that nothing happened between him and Li Jingshu.
Everyone sat down in the cabin, and the maids had already served tea. Dulong glanced at the sail that Li Jingshu was wearing, and ordered in a rough and detailed manner, "Is there any clean women's clothes for Miss Li to change into?"
The maid said "yes" and led Li Jingshu into the back cabin.
Feng Yueming unceremoniously grabbed the teapot on the table, poured hot tea into everyone's cups, and said happily, "Even if I take action personally, I will lose more than I win against Arutai. You will only suffer some flesh wounds."
I escaped from the building and kept Miss Li safe. If word spread, it will definitely cause a sensation in the world, and maybe Mr. Hongyi will come to thank you in person."
Du Longhao said angrily, "Sooner or later we will have a battle with the Yueyang Water Sect. If they steal the chicken, they will lose the rice. If they anger Mr. Hongyi, let's see how they can gain a foothold in the world in the future."
Feng Yueming's eyes flashed, and he took a sip of tea slowly, and then said calmly, "Our purpose this time is to force An Xiaohan out, so we might as well start with the Yueyang Water Sect and give them a heavy blow first."
The attack forced An Xiaohan to come out to the rescue."
Du Long snorted and said, "They are backed by a group of Mongolian masters. You guys are not vegetarians. We want to see who is the fucking coward then."
"I mean no offense." When Lan Qiao saw Feng Yueming casually stating the intention of their trip, he couldn't help but ask, "May I ask how Brother Ruhui got together with Du Du's family?" Although he
The question was tactful, but the meaning was obvious. It was to ask about the relationship between Feng Yueming and Du Long, and why he could trust Du Long and the Dongting Gang without reservation.
As soon as he said this, Feng Yueming and Du Long both looked up to the sky and laughed. Feng Yueming explained with a smile, "Of course I believe them, because these two brothers, plus their little sister Du Yuan, I watched them grow up."
They are the descendants of my old Langya Cavalry general Du Yu, and they are also like my family."
Lan Qiao smiled awkwardly and hurriedly changed the topic. After a while, he heard the sound of footsteps. Li Jingshu, who had redressed and dressed up, changed into a bright dress of a young woman and came back.
Du Zhen's eyes lit up and he praised without restraint, "Miss Li is so beautiful."
"That's right, she is one of the most beautiful women in the world." Du Long patted Du Zhen's shoulder and said with a smile, "How does it fit?"
Li Jingshu smiled sweetly and said, "Mrs. Qiao has a very good figure, and the little girl can hardly fit it into her clothes." As she said this, she specially pulled the fabric around her waist to indicate that there was no extra fabric.
"Oh, you've seen Zhuo Jing." As soon as Du Long finished his words, he saw another young woman wearing a dress similar to Li Jingshu's, holding a baby who had just turned one year old and walking into the cabin. It was exactly what Li Jingshu said.
Mrs. Joe.
As expected, Mrs. Qiao was graceful and radiant. She greeted several guests very politely, but Du Long frowned and said unhappily, "What are you doing here?"
"Yu'er was fine just now, but now for some reason, his body suddenly started to feel hot." When Mrs. Qiao said this, she looked at the baby in her arms very worriedly, "Isn't he catching a cold? I heard
Miss Li runs a pharmacy in Jingzhou, so I shamelessly carried Yu'er out to show Miss Li."
Du Long initially thought she was disturbing his conversation with the guests, but when he heard that his precious son Du Yu was involved, he frowned. He stepped forward and touched the baby's forehead.
Li Jingshu cast a look for help.
Li Jingshu saw the expressions of the two of them and said calmly, "If Gang Leader Du can trust me, you might as well let me take the young master's pulse."
Before Du Long could speak, Mrs. Qiao had already nodded repeatedly. After hearing her husband say "Thank you, Miss Li," she hurriedly carried the baby to Li Jingshu.
