Chapter 345: gratitude

Chapter 345 Thanks

Lei Da reported the situation to Huo Xi.

The water thief is ferocious and powerful, but the guards brought by the Gong family can resist one or two at first, but the water thief's reckless way of fighting messes up the Gong family's position.

As soon as Lei Da and the others arrived, they injected a booster into the guards of the Gong family who were at a disadvantage, and finally they worked together to strangle all the water thieves.

The ten bodyguards all had to be tailed, and they were not injured at all. However, three of the palace guards died, and almost all the rest were injured.

"Brother, this kind of favor is greatly owed to my brother."

Huo Xi was about to speak, but was stopped by Gong Ziyi: "Brother's life is not worth money." Gong Ziyi knew that Huo Xi wanted to talk about the incident a few years ago.

Huo Xi originally wanted to say that he saved his life, but if the favor is repaid, it's over.

But when he said this, he thought, if you want to owe it, you can owe it, there is no harm. The shops in Huai'an cannot do without the care of the thick thigh of the Gong family.

Then he asked Xiang Cao to bring the medicine kit on board and treat his wound.

"I didn't expect you to be good at fighting."

"When you walk out, you must know one or two tricks. It's just that I didn't learn the skills for my brother, and I almost died under the knife of those thieves." I gritted my teeth with hatred.

Seeing the two girls helping him with the wound, Huo Xi watched from the sidelines, grabbed the cotton cloth from Xiang Cao's hand, and stuffed it into Huo Xi's hand: "Brother is thinking about you, and I will send you a letter whenever I have time. , you are not happy to treat brother's wound?"

Huo Xi glared at him, and reluctantly took over the work from Vanilla.

The young master was guarded by a group of followers, and his injuries were not serious. His chest was slashed, but was only scratched by the blade. The blood was wiped on a shallow layer, and a layer of hemostatic powder was sprinkled on it, and the bleeding stopped.

Gong Ziyi was enjoying Huo Xi's bandaging, squinting at the two maids beside Huo Xi: "My dear brother, you are not old, but you can enjoy it, brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, so you took in two maids." Already? Tsk tsk..."

With a strange look on his face.

Brain is not healthy. Huo Xi slandered her and didn't explain, she just said: "You have a lot of followers, why can't I have two maids?"

"Brother has a lot of followers, but they are men. Do you think that brother is going out with maids? You are still on a boat, and you are taking two maids to travel far away..."

"You look down on your daughter? Why can't there be women on board?"

"Brother didn't mean that, brother meant that he was going out with two maids by his side..."

Seeing Huo Xi glaring at him, he hurriedly smiled and begged for mercy: "Take it with you. At such a young age, why can't I bring two servant girls to serve? Yes! If it's not enough, brother will give you two more."

That’s right, the older one is okay, the younger one is younger than my brother, what can I do?

Is his brother's mind not very bright?

But I was afraid of offending Huo Xi, so I stopped talking. He just yelled "Ouch, Ouch", and tilted his body to lean on Huo Xi.

was pushed away by Huo Xi: "You are a flesh wound, what the hell, why don't you save your energy and deal with the matter on your boat."

Gong Ziyi sat up straight when he heard that, with a serious face on his face: "There is Li Neng. He can handle this matter well. Those water thieves have hurt me so many people. If I know their lair, they will all be hanged." them!"

"You killed all those water thieves? I thought you would leave it to the government."

"Brother, you are still young and don't know the dangers of the world. To deal with this kind of people, you must kill them immediately and don't give them a chance to live. Besides, they have met us, what if they retaliate in the future? Besides, what if they Are there any people in the government? It’s better to see one and kill another, and save them from coming out to harm others.”

Huo Xi nodded, agreeing with his idea.

It's only half a day's journey away from the capital, so if you dare to come out to commit crimes, you're probably safe. Hurting their vitality severely, it might make them stop for a while. The water trade routes can also be more peaceful.

"Are you coming out of Beijing? I'm afraid you showed your wealth in Beijing and were followed by others."

Huo Xi rubbed his nose: "You came to write a letter anyway, so I'd better sweep the couch to welcome you. It's rare for me to travel far, but you bumped into me. Your luck is also very good."

"What a fart. Brother almost died."

"Isn't this not dead?"

"It was almost! Fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet a good brother."

"You don't hire escorts, and you don't bring more guards. Your family is short of money?"

"Every time I go out, I go out smoothly, but this time I met a ghost." I sighed unlucky.

Huo Xi bickered and made fun of him for fear that he would be unhappy. Feeling in my heart, there are more water thieves now. It is estimated that the water transportation was opened up, and Beiping City was built, and all materials were sent to the north. There were more merchants doing business through the waterway. In addition, the sea ban was lifted, which gave the water thieves an opportunity.

The two of them were chatting, the boat had chosen a sheltered place to moor, and the Gong family's boat also stopped.

Li Neng stepped on the springboard and was relieved to see that the young master had treated the wound.

He solemnly gave a big gift to Huo Xi, thanked her for helping her, and gave Lei Da a bag of silver as a reward, and gave two bags of silver to the two boat bosses of Guangfengshui, and asked them to share it among the crowd. sailor. Even vanilla and summer lotus are in the purse.

The two dared not accept it, and looked at Huo Xi until Huo Xi nodded to them, and the two happily accepted it.

Huo Xi saw that Li Neng was thoughtful and satisfied, and teased him: "I don't?"

Li Neng laughed: "Young master Huo's great favor, please remember it on your head, and let him repay it."

Gong Ziyi stared: "My own virtuous brother, what do you pay for?"

Li Neng smiled, and handed Shen Qianzhong a purse.

Shen Qianzhong didn't want him to have a thank you gift, and was a little bit surprised. He declined it, but he couldn't drop it, so he had to accept it, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that I would have it too."

The other party is the manager of the Huai'an Dayan merchant, only seeing that he is more experienced than himself in handling things, so Shen Qianzhong thought about making friends with him. After talking to Huo Xi, I found a place to talk with Li Neng.

Huo Xi and Gong Ziyi had a rare meeting, and they talked until late at night, until she couldn't bear the sleepiness, so Gong Ziyi let her go to bed.

The next day it was just dawn, and Xiang Cao and Xia He woke her up with a shake, saying that Master Gong was leaving.

Huo Xi struggled to get up, and found an ivory carved hollow aromatherapy ball and gave it to him.

Gong Ziyi accepted it happily, and hung it on his waist: "It's been a long time since I came out this time, so I don't want to delay any longer. I will send you a letter when I return to the capital next time, so you can't throw it away." I ran away for my brother."

Did I leave you and run away? Who knew you were coming?

But it’s not easy to bother with a wounded person, nod, bid him farewell, and watch him sail away from the deck. Until it was far away, I saw him standing at the stern of the boat waving desperately at her.

As soon as the Gong family's boat left, Guangfengshui's boat also moved.

"Master, the Gong family gave me a jade pendant, it looks quite valuable."

Shen Qianzhong came over to show Huo Xi the jade pendant, but was a bit afraid to accept it. He didn't do anything, and he felt uneasy after getting such a valuable thing.

Huo Xi glanced at it, and found that the carving was quite delicate, knowing that Li Neng wanted to express his gratitude to her, but it was not easy to give her something.

Let him accept it with peace of mind: "We saved a boatload of people from him, so we should also take a piece of jade pendant. The palace family has a big business, and these objects are worthless without life."

Shen Qianzhong accepted it with peace of mind: "I didn't expect to come out with my boss, and I would get such a treasure. I heard that the sailors got five taels each, and the bodyguards each got twelve taels."

Huo Xi nodded, Vanilla and Xia He were also five taels per person. It was the first time for the two of them to see so much money, and they were too scared to accept it. It was not until Huo Xi spoke that they happily accepted it.

Because of the favorable wind, at the beginning of noon, the boat arrived at the wharf in the outer city of the capital.
