Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 26: Let's talk about business, why bother with physical contact
As the saying goes, the river water is not cold in April, and the flowers are warm on the cool banks of Hangzhou.
If you don’t see the West Lake in spring, it would be in vain to travel to the south of the Yangtze River.
The half-clear and half-cold scenery of the West Lake in April is definitely something that tourists should not miss.
The water in West Lake is always very cold, especially in the early spring.
The scenery of West Lake is always unique, especially after a drizzle of rain.
It is not prosperous and does not have too many decorative decorations. What it has are just flowers, birds, green willows, ancient bridges, flowing water, and some boatmen.
It is not too elegant, but at least it is not too highbrow for the masses. Most of the people passing by are good people and families, and everyone can appreciate the picturesque scenery.
It lacks some of the worldly flavor, but it has not lost the tenderness that has existed in the Jiangnan region since ancient times.
It is like a peerless beauty who is half-covered. You can admire her from afar but you cannot touch her.
The shore of West Lake.
Li Si called a boatman, boiled a pot of tea, and brought Bai Yaoer to the water.
The steam from the boiling tea made the air above the lake less cool.
The boatman rowed the boat and took the two of them to tour the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains at a leisurely pace.
Li Si seemed very leisurely, leaning leisurely on the bow of the boat, holding a tea bowl and sipping warm tea in small sips.
Bai Yaoer seemed very nervous, and kept looking at the shores on both sides from time to time, as if she was afraid that a group of people with swords would suddenly rush out.
It’s not her fault. After all, the two of them are still being hunted.
"So." Bai Yaoer bit her lip lightly and looked at Li Si, speaking softly as if she was enduring something.
"You said you had something else to do in Hangzhou City, so you wanted to come here to play?"
"Yeah." Li Si turned his head and nodded as a matter of course: "Is there anything wrong?"
"You're still asking what's wrong!?"
Bai Yaoer's voice rose a little, then she carefully looked at the boatman who was rowing at the stern, and came up to Li Si and said.
"Do you know how many people are looking for you right now?"
"I know." Li Si held the tea bowl and shook it with a smile: "A lot of people are looking for me, but so what?"
"So what?" Bai Yaoer pointed at Li Si anxiously.
"What if they find you here openly like this?"
"Then let them find it." Li Si pushed Bai Yaoer's hand away, patted the back of her hand twice, and smiled gently.
"Don't worry, no matter how many people come, I will protect you."
"You!" Bai Yaoer's face turned red. She pulled her hand back and looked away awkwardly.
"Who wants your protection?"
"Then I'll just leave you alone. It's easy for me to run away alone anyway."
Li Si spread his hands, acting like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, and leaned against the bow again.
"I!" Bai Yaoer was speechless for a moment.
"Haha." Li Si laughed out loud, raised the tea bowl and took another sip of tea.
Obviously, he was teasing Bai Yaoer again.
He also knew that it was not good to always tease others, but there was nothing he could do about it because this little girl was so interesting.
"lecher!"
Looking at Li Si's despicable appearance, Bai Yaoer cursed him viciously, then sat aside with her hands folded in frustration, not intending to pay any more attention to him.
She felt that if she continued like this, she would be angry to death sooner or later.
…
The boat is still sailing slowly.
Push away the layers of microwaves, causing the water surface to shake gently.
Bai Yaoer was still angry at first, but gradually, she became addicted to the scenery.
The West Lake is half covered with mist after the rain, which perfectly interprets the hazy beauty that seems to be unable to be expressed.
After finishing the tea, Li Si stood up and added another pot.
At this time, they passed an ancient bridge, and on the opposite side of the bridge, another small boat was coming towards them.
Li Si paused as he was adding tea to his glass, then raised his eyes and looked.
On the boat opposite, there were two people sitting, two men.
One is a brocade folding fan, the other is a black ancient sword.
At the same time, the two men also saw Li Si.
A breeze blew across the lake, causing the shallow grass by the lake to sway.
The gaze stopped, and Li Si and the two men looked at each other for a while.
The two boats approached each other, and the sound of water beneath the boats was soft.
The man in black tightly gripped the ancient sword in his hand. A faint murderous aura emanated from him, causing the surrounding scenery to stagnate.
The man in brocade clothes gently raised his hand and pressed down the hilt of his sword.
Until the two ships met under the bridge.
The man in brocade clothes opened his folding fan, smiled and nodded at Li Si.
Li Si raised his eyebrows and gave him a chuckle in response.
"Nice to meet you." The man in brocade clothes said in a warm voice, holding up a folding fan as they passed each other.
"Nice to meet you." Li Si replied and finished refilling the tea in his hand.
The two boats passed each other. Bai Yaoer looked back in confusion and asked Li Si.
"Do you know that guy just now?"
Li Si put the teapot back on the stove and told a riddle.
“I know him, and I don’t know him either.”
So whether he knew him or not, Bai Yaoer was even more confused. She found that she always couldn't understand what Li Si said.
On another ship.
Mu Wu also still held the sword in his hand.
"Actually, we can start now," he said.
At that distance, if Xiao Muchu and he attacked at the same time, he would have a 40% chance of taking down Li Si.
A 40% chance is not high, but when it comes to capturing Li Si, this chance is already quite high.
"Don't be so anxious." Xiao Muchu waved the fan in his hand and pointed at the lake in front of him with a smile.
"You forgot, we are just here to have fun today, not to catch anyone."
Hearing this, Mu Wu said nothing more.
After all, it was not him who wanted to capture Li Si, he just needed to get the information he wanted afterwards.
On the way here, Xiao Muchu had promised him that he would tell him the news regardless of whether Li Si was caught or not.
So theoretically speaking, whether Xiao Muchu can catch Li Si or not has nothing to do with him, he just needs to come.
But this is also the reason why Mu Wu took the initiative to take action.
Because he didn't want to owe Xiao Muchu anything, he would try his best to help him catch Li Si.
"Okay, stop thinking about it."
Xiao Muchu tapped his arm lightly with his fan and spoke to a pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Yes, we have been swimming for a long time. How about we sit over there for a while? I brought a pot of good wine. We can drink and chat."
Seeing that Xiao Muchu looked like he was here for sightseeing, Mu Wu didn't know what to say and closed his eyes expressionlessly.
"We have nothing to talk about."
Xiao Muchu did not feel embarrassed by this. Instead, he put his arm around Mu Wu's shoulder and patted him as if he was quite familiar with him.
"Why do we have to be so distant, Mr. Mu? I think there are many areas where our two businesses can cooperate in the future. Isn't this a good opportunity for us to talk about related matters?"
Mu Wu frowned uncomfortably and sat a little to the side. He was not used to being so close to others.
But who would have thought that Xiao Muchu would come up to him without any hesitation, hold his hand, and say with a smile.
"Why don't I first tell you about the benefits of cooperation between Xueyi Tower and our Fengyu Tower..."
Xiao Muchu seemed determined to get Xueyilou as a partner.
But behind the boat, the boatman looked at the two people at the bow and shook his head with a strange expression.
Hey, the young people nowadays are getting bolder and bolder. They are doing this in broad daylight, not afraid of others' gossip.
Apparently, he had misunderstood something.
