Translated by Foxs
When Xu Ziling woke up, the sky was barely brightened; he saw for the first ti was already out of bed before he did He was standing by the cabin , staring blankly at the darkness outside
They were in a cabin, which the Li guy arranged for them In the next roouy’s captivating younger sister
Xu Ziling walked over to where Kou Zhong was standing Kou Zhong sighed and said, “Xiao Ling! I found a sweetheart!”
‘What?” Xu Ziling’s voice broke
“Don’t you think Li guy’s little sister is very beautiful?” Kou Zhong whispered, “She is easy-, her breasts are exquisite floating protrusions, her legs, ay! They could lead men to their death Her cheeks rosy, I am sure those are the cutest cheeks on earth Her skin soft and smooth like satin brocade, white and pink Heavens! If I can eht to bed, I won’t think of anything else; because what on earth could bethan that? When she speaks, her voice and her facial expression make me drunk, and when she occasionally slance, Xiao Ling! I arabbed his shoulder and laughed until he was out of breath “Do you call that ‘love’?” he asked, “You, thisover her” And then he wondered aloud, “Didn’t you say that the more women we have the better? Why is it this ti said in distress, “Can you not dig up s, I did not even have half a girlfriend, hence I said all those heroic things to console myself But now I have her, naturally I have to concentrate only on one aspiration Do you understand?”
Xu Ziling changed into wrapping his ar’s broad shoulders and said in amazement, “Looks like you are serious”
“Of course I auy is rushi+ng to Taiyuan to force his old e, with Taiyuan as their base of operation, plus with elite soldiers and aood chance that he will beco to join a uy? Since we have rendered greatto bestow usstared blankly for half a day, and then he said in low voice, “Is your heart not dead toward his mother’s militia? It would be better for us to concentrate on salt-trafficking business and make money while the world is in chaos If we have hting for life and death for other people?”
Kou Zhong sed too Hey! Just look at that Li guy’s righteous manners; how can you cohost fellows?”
With a bitter laugh Xu Ziling said, “Let’s not talk about this right now At the end of the day, you only want to get close to Li Xiuning Don’t blah on the surface this noble fairl treats us politely, I always feel that she kind of turn us down froirl as born from this kind of respected family like her will always look down on little marketplace ruffians like the two of us”
This ti’s shoulders and said with a giggle, “The first tiers to each other; are you saying that she needs to keep you within a chi of her? There is nothing iirl we only need a bit of creativity and suy invites us, two very useful fellows, to join his ca toto save Susu Jiejie?”
Evidently Kou Zhong has not thought about this point; he was stunned speechless
Xu Ziling sighed and said, “You go pursue Miss Xiuning whom you yearn for even in your dreams! Let me take care of Susu Jiejie But I definitely don’t want to join anybody’s can Only I need to take that account book back, so that I can avenge Niang”
While Kou Zhong was as dumb as a wooden chicken, there was a knock on their door
The two boys followed a maid toward the hall on the upper deck; Li shi+ the scholar, tall, thin, natural and unrestrained
Li shi+, please sit down We are all family”
The twothe two boys quite flattered
Li shi+ed scholar first, “This is Mr Pei Ji, his skill ‘wang xing shan’ [forgetting-shape fan] can exhaust the world’s heroes He is the deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace, and my father’s chess [qi] mate”
Pei Ji looked at the two boys indifferently, and said modestly, “Nephew shi+min praises me too much; it’s just a la worth considering? Not tothe world’s heroes”
And then he turned toward the handso about martial art skill, we e”
The one called Chai Shao pro noticed Chai Shao’s splendid sword and beautiful clothes, his ihtly inferior to Li shi+eneral’s air But since they already had favorable impression toward him, the two boys hurriedly expressed so Chai Shao carried a bit of haughtiness toward the two boys, unlike the Li guy who treated theeneration juniors who happened to render a great merit After they sat down, he only chatted with Li and Chai, two people, and no longer paid any attention to the two boys
The two boys were accustomed to be looked down like that, so they did not carewith the delicacies and gourmet foods on the table
In Li shi+min’s mind, naturally Pei Ji and Chai Shao were , but he did not neglect hospitality; he personally picked two pieces of deep-fried dough cake and gave it to the two boys, while saying with a laugh, “This is called Steaeneric ter, salted fermented beans sauce and sesame seed, simmered in salt; very delicious”
The two boys had never tasted any Hu cake, which was popular in the north; they ate with relish
This moment Chai Shao said, “This time Uncle has no choice but to raise ar first My only concern is the two elite troops of Qu Tutong at Puguan and Song Laosheng’s guarding Huoyi It seems that Uncle is not without apprehension”
Pei Ji said, “Qu Tutong and Song Laosheng are indeed worrisome, but the one I aer day by day On the east Khitan, shi+wei, on the west Tuyuhun, Gaochang, and other countries are sub themselves to them Moreover, those who raise ar shi+dou and the others, none does not rely on the Tujue for their existence When wethe Tujue, Liu Wuzhou and the othersa sneak attack from behind”
Li shi+min was already prepared a plan, “That is not a probleh poe can use strategy The one thing I aht now is that Die will still be indecisive; I aood opportunity”
Pei Ji patted his chest to vow, “Leave thisand I persuade hi the critical situation in front of our eyes, how can your Die have any other choice?”
Li shi+ and Xu Ziling he said, “This tientleot stolen, I am afraid it will still be difficult to create this kind of situation The o to Jiangdu to deal with Du Fuwei This is a one in a million chance”
The two boys looked at each other; it was only then did they know that the ezhou
Right this irdle orna their heads, the two boys already captured Li Xiuning’s beautiful ie in their minds, momentarily they could only stare blankly
She earing a Hu hat [see my note above on ‘hu’] that was as round as a boith silkscreen hanging down all around its edge, the top of the hat was garnished with pearl and green jade It was a unique style; not only it was gorgeous, it was also bri with faintly discernible mysterious beauty
The clothes she as totally different from the Central Plains and the southern style with its broad overlap and big sleeves, hers had big turndown collar and narrow sleeves, which was sicheng, wore; only the material was finer
This kind of clothes not only highlighted women’s exquisite curves, it was also much more convenient in term of mobility
The first to stand up was Chai Shao This guy’s eyes lit up; with fiery enthusias [ till my heart nearly burned into coal”
It was as if Li Xiuning did not see other people; she smiled sweetly at Chai Shao, and htly support her fragrant shoulder and help her to sit Only then did she greet her older brother and Pei Ji Lastly she acknowledged Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling
Kou Zhong felt like he had just struck by lightning, as he watched the inti in shock; his face turned ash grey
