Chapter 149 Counterattack
Li Ming frowned and couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. Ximen Hu was his savior. Man'er was so rude in front of him, which made him feel sorry for him. So he hurriedly apologized to Ximen Hu and said, "Brother, don't be offended. I, a little girl, are so frivolous, and I make you laugh. Let's do this, let Yao'er go to serve you wine in person. What do you think?"
Ximen Hu showed a smiley face on his face, then waved his hand and said, "Brother, you are so arrogant. You just made a few wine glasses. Don't blame her. Little girl, you will panic when you see me. Maybe I'm too ugly, haha, brother and sister, you'd better not be busy. Although the weather is cold now, I don't think we will care. I've never seen such a beautiful scenery before. Hehe, Brother Li Ming, you are so good at enjoying it. Let's do this. Tonight we will sit on the ground, listening to the sound of the spring, blowing the cold wind, and the light emitted by your baby. Wouldn't it be nice to have a long chat here?"
Seeing that Ximen Hu was not at all unhappy, Li Ming certainly agreed to his proposal. So a few people talked under the bright lights and shared some life experiences. They talked until the second half of the night. Then everyone reluctantly went to rest separately. Because Li Songtao Pavilion was too far away, Li Ming arranged Ximen Hu's master and apprentice in the villa's guest room.
The next day when Li Ming got up, the sun was already very high. He had been working hard these days, so he often couldn't eat well and sleep well. Although he had a considerable climate inside, he was still a little overwhelmed.
With a light sound, Zhang Yao led Man'er into the room, holding a copper basin in his hand to Li Ming's bed. Li Ming felt warm in his heart, and a familiar warmth surged in his heart. How long has it been? He has never enjoyed this feeling since he left Mengyin City last time. I remember that not long after he left Mengyin City, Zhang Yao led Xiao Cui to take charge of washing him every morning. Gradually, Li Ming gradually fell in love with this feeling. Looking back at that time, it really made him feel very warm. However, since he came back, those who went out early and came back late every day rarely got up so late in the morning, so he rarely enjoyed this feeling again. Today, he can finally relive his old dreams. The difference is that Xiao Cui was replaced by Man'er now.
Slowly opening Li Ming's long hair, Zhang Yao stood behind Li Ming slowly, combed him very seriously. Looking from the mirror in front of Li Ming, Zhang Yao seemed so focused and charming at this moment.
In fact, Li Ming had no desire for this annoying long hair. He was busy and had no time to care about him. Every morning, he would just find a maid to comb him a few times. As for whether he was messy or not, he didn't have to care about him. Fortunately, he was the boss on the island, and no one could say anything to his hair. But even so, he was also worried that he had to wash his hair once a week. Li Ming was really annoyed. He was helpless when he was trying to adapt to this society, but now he no longer needed to do this. Now it was time for him to adapt to this society. So, a few days ago, Li Ming had the plan to cut his hair, thinking about how comfortable the small buzz cut he had left before. But all these thoughts no longer exist at this moment. Without this long hair, Yao'er would go to comb his hair? Therefore, the idea of cutting his hair has long been kicked to a place.
The warm feeling is always very short. Soon, Zhang Yao carefully washed Li Ming, Man'er went out with the water from the basin. Li Ming sat in front of the dressing table, grabbed Zhang Yao's hand on his shoulder, and silently enjoyed the warm afterglow. For a moment, neither of them wanted to say anything. They just leaned quietly, enjoying each other's affection.
Man'er's sound of pushing the door broke the short atmosphere. Zhang Yao blushed and pushed Li Ming's hand away, and said to her softly: "It's getting late, I'll arrange food for you. There are still a lot of things to do." After that, Han Xiao forgot about him and turned around and went out. Although the two had been married for a long time, Zhang Yao's shyness still made Li Ming often suspected to be on a honeymoon.
He smiled with satisfaction, Li Ming stood up, and accidentally hit Man'er who was standing silently behind him. Man'er took a few steps back and looked at Li Ming timidly, with the corners of his mouth trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Li Ming smiled tolerantly, patted her shoulder and comforted her, "I'm still feeling uneasy about what happened last night? Brother Ximen said he doesn't care anymore, so don't do this anymore. I don't mean to blame you at all. After all, everyone has times of mistakes. Just be careful in the future, do you know?"
Man'er's eyes were covered with a layer of fog. He looked at Li Ming in front of him and suddenly said something: "Young Master, I have a request, I wonder if you can agree?"
At this time, Zhang Yao was directing his servants to prepare Li Ming's breakfast. The downstairs of Tingquan Pavilion was filled with wine and food, but Zhang Yao seemed to be still unsatisfied and was still urging more dishes to serve.
As soon as the door rang, Ximen Hu pushed the door and walked in, laughing as he walked, "Ha, it smells so good, brother and sister, what are the happy events today? You have to prepare so happily. Hehe, I am a greedy person. You must invite me to attend this banquet."
Zhang Yao chuckled and said, "Brother Ximen is good at joking. Didn't I agree yesterday that you should treat this place as your home? You can come here if you have any delicious food. What kind of politeness are there in your home? The gentleman said that when he has time that day, he will hold a ceremony to become sworn brothers with you."
Ximen Hu laughed and said, "I dare not be like you say that. Who is Brother Li Ming? The doctor god admired by everyone in the world. Now he is the governor of two states. How can I, a mountain villager, afford it? But if he really wants to become a sworn brother with me, I have no objection. Haha, who makes me like him? By the way, I have an abrupt question to ask you, Li Ming is your husband. Logically speaking, you should call him a husband, master or husband, why do I always hear you call him a husband? It's awkward, I'm not used to it. Can you tell me why?"
Zhang Yao's eyes showed some nostalgic expressions, and she said softly: "This is actually not surprising. In my eyes, Li Ming is not only my husband, but also my husband. No matter what his identity is, or whenever he is, he will always be the person I respect and admire the most. Therefore, I would rather call him a husband. This contains both love and admiration and my feelings. I don't know if my elder brother can understand it, but I know that the husband can understand it." Speaking of this, the glory of happiness appeared on her face.
Ximen Hu was stunned for a moment. After a long time, he exclaimed in a low voice: "I really envy you. Seeing you so happy and loving, I want to go back and find a confidante to live forever. Hehe, does my words mean that I am old? Really, when I heard you say those words just now, I felt a little sour in my heart. Haha, don't let Li Ming know, otherwise he will fight hard with me, the elder brother. Okay, it's not up to you to joke, where is Li Ming? Why haven't he come out yet?" Speaking of this, he suddenly shouted at the door: "Li Ming, where have you died? Why are you coming out soon? If you don't show up, I'm going to start eating."
Li Ming hurriedly ran out of the room, sat at the table step by step, and smiled and said, "Brother is too unkind. I left my brother alone and started eating. It's really, it's inauthentic. In order to punish what you did just now, I want you to accompany me to the dragon and tiger den. Are you happy?"
Ximen Hu was excited, hurriedly raised his head, looked at Li Ming and asked, "Dragon Pond and Tiger's Nest? Where are you referring to? Have you found out where the people who attacked you the day before yesterday?" Asked this, his expression began to become sharp.
"I don't need to check. There is no one else who has spent so much effort to attack me at this time. Although I just accepted Jiangzhou and the troops were not fully equipped, I can't be harassed by him all the time. Humph, he gave me this set. Wouldn't I use the same method to greet him? I have decided tonight, I, Long'er, Brother Wang, Senior Zhuang Ya, and Brother, you only five of us go to him to see if Li Jiao's place is a dragon and tiger den! I heard that he can win over experts in the world, so this operation is very dangerous. Brother, think about whether to go with me?" Li Ming said this, looking at Ximen Hu with a consulting gaze, waiting for his answer.
Ximen Hu was furious, raised his body, pointed at Li Ming and shouted loudly: "Bastard! Who do you think of me, Ximen Hu? Yesterday you said that you wanted me to treat this place as your home, but did you think of me as your own person? I, Ximen Hu, is the kind of person who is greedy for life and fear of death? Li Ming, if you don't explain it clearly to me today, I will never end with you."
"Brother, don't be angry, it's brother's, it's not." Seeing Ximen Hu's anger, Li Ming hurriedly stood up and apologized to him. Zhang Yao also inserted it in at the right time. The two of them coaxed and took the initiative to suppress Ximen Hu's anger.
Pour a glass of wine, Li Ming held it up with both hands and said to Ximen Hu, "Brother, it was wrong for being a brother just now. I will do it first and apologize to you here." After that, he drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
Ximen Hu hurriedly got up, and held up the wine glass in his hand and said awkwardly: "Brother was too impulsive just now. Brother, don't care. I also know that you are thinking about my safety. But don't worry, I can still be competent for your task at this point. Look, let's kill them together tonight without leaving them!"
Li Ming was overjoyed and said, "It would be better if you don't get angry. Have a quick meal. The food is cold. I have to arrange dinner to ensure that it is foolproof. Brother, prepare. We set off at dusk and take my armored warship. We can reach Fenshui Island without having to reach the middle of the night."
After having breakfast in a hurry, Li Ming hurriedly went down the mountain. He had too many things to do in the past two days and had no idea. It seemed that everyone should be together.
In the bamboo forest pavilion, all the senior personnel from Biquan Island gathered together again. After briefly introducing the situation in the past two days, Li Ming looked around and said, "You all understand the general situation. The opportunity is very rare now. Wang Wen has already taken his five thousand elite troops to accept the troops from all over the country. Now, there is only the problem of Jiangzhou officials. For this, Gao Wei, what are your good solutions?"
After swallowing a sip of tea, Gao Wei smiled confidently and said, "Actually, General Manager Wang has already told me about the things in the past two days. Before coming, I have basically considered various methods. Now, I have basically got a general plan. Leave it to me. I will leave the matters on the island to Xiang Yan. He was originally a scholar who was not well-known. After these days of influence, he was almost competent for the daily work of the island, so I can rest assured. Now I need the lord to give me an appointment, an appointment that is enough to command the large and small officials of Jiangzhou. I will appoint me as Jiangzhou Mu, and directly obey the orders of the two states and take charge of all things in Jiangzhou. The lord first delegated the appointment documents, and then quickly sent someone to the court to register my rank and official rank with the Ministry of Personnel, and then get the seal and fish talisman from the Ministry of Personnel, and handed the rest to me. What do you think?"
Li Ming was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Gao Wei is really my life-saving straw. I'm just worried about this. Hehe, if I were to listen to the officials talking in my ears every day, I would really go crazy. I'm not suitable for this, so you should do it. Why do you want to appoint you? Jiang Zhoumu? No problem, the seal is on Brother Wang's place. You can write whatever you want, and you can just put it on. Brother, first hand the seal to Gao Wei and let him deal with the officials who can't be killed or scolded."
Gao Wei hurriedly stood up, bowed to Li Ming with a serious expression, and shouted: "Gao Wei accepted the reward from his lord, please stay in peace. I will let Jiangzhou completely belong to him within two months. However, I need the guards on the island as my helpers. I will gradually push them to various positions in Jiangzhou, large and small to replace the existing people. Therefore, the loyalty of these people is very important."
Li Ming suddenly smiled and said, "Gao Wei, I found that sometimes you are really my lucky star. I was worried that I could not arrange them, so you found a way for me. It's good, let them exercise too, and they will bear the burden in the future."
After arranging Li Ming's biggest concern, he was satisfied and ordered some precautions, and then ordered to disband. Then, he took Lin Long and the Saint Hand King to modify the ironclad ship on the newly built pier. Then, before the sun set, Li Ming and five others took the ironclad warship under Wang Tao's escort, and took a ironclad warship to cut through the water surface of the Mid-mountain Lake and drove towards the Fenshui Island at a rapid speed. Of course, there was no need to mention Ximen Hu's shock and curiosity.
The ironclad ship sped on the lake for nearly five hours. At nearly midnight, it finally approached the Fenshui Island. Wang Tao shut down the steam turbine and hung a white sail on the mast installed on the ironclad ship. Under the blow of the north wind, the ironclad warship slowly approached the Fenshui Island. Li Ming's beheading operation against Li Jiao was finally about to begin-
