Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan suddenly remembered the hole on the hilt of the empress's sword as if he was listening to a story. Could it be that it was originally the place where the so-called Chaos Stone was inlaid?

"The dragon ao is a strange beast in the world. I didn't want to kill it. I just cut off a part of its dragon horn and tried to drive it away. However, it seemed to be determined to die... I had no choice but to fulfill its wish."

Jiang Fan took out the more than three-foot-long dragon horn tip from his back in a daze: "That... take a look, is it this thing?"

The empress was stunned, took it and took a look: "It's this thing. It fell into the Canglan River at that time. How did it end up in your hands?"

Jiang Fan laughed dryly and explained the origin.

"Tell me, is there a possibility..." Jiang Fan said tentatively: "Did you kill its mother - or its father?"

The empress was also stunned, and after a long while, she said uncertainly: "It is not ruled out..."

Jiang Fan sighed and shook his head: "No wonder people are hostile to you, it seems that there is a deep hatred..."

The empress frowned: "I had no choice."

Jiang Fan said: "Maybe it knows, otherwise it would not be barking at you."

The empress pondered: "If so, I am sorry for it."

Jiang Fan smiled bitterly: "It's all speculation, and the truth is unknown."

The empress shook her head: "I just saw the iron chain hanging on the top of the cave, and a section was stuck in the mouth of the dying dragon."

Jiang Fan was stunned: "...If you say so, the chain was bitten off by the dragon's parents?"

This possibility is really not ruled out.

Jiang Fan asked curiously: "What did you do with the dragon after it died?"

The empress hesitated: "The mountain and sea beasts can't be wasted..."

Jiang Fan was speechless, yes, there is no escape. If the guess is correct, assuming that the dragon tortoise has wisdom, it may know that you killed someone's elder, but also know that the elder wants to die. It didn't intend to blame you too much, but you didn't even return the body to him later, which is a bit unreasonable...

Of course, this is just his conjecture. It is hard to say whether the beast can be so wise. It is very likely that it thinks that the empress killed someone's elder and was stained with the blood of the dragon tortoise.

The empress was a little thoughtful and said: "It's not too much. Most of them sank into the Canglan River. After all, it knocked off my chaos stone. I just took the inner elixir and scales, and didn't move anything else..."

Why do I feel that you are explaining?

Mr. Jiang was speechless.

In short, I have to say that this wife is really lucky. If I am a time traveler, this person is probably the real son of the plane.

A mouthful of dragon tortoise's blood made her change so much. The empress had a whole adult dragon tortoise back then. This luck may not have nothing to do with her being so powerful.

While they were guessing, Jiang Qi came hurriedly. She was startled by the inexplicable vibration and thought that something had happened to the two of them downstairs.

"Sister, how are the ingredients for dinner prepared? I'm really hungry." Jiang Fan didn't want to say more about Long Ao, and asked Jiang Qi with a smile.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for my brother to cook." Jiang Qi was no longer submissive. After all, she understood that the girl in front of her would sooner or later be called sister-in-law. As a sister, she didn't have to worry too much.

"Well, let's eat!"

Jiang Qi was flattered to eat at the same table with the empress. She had heard that according to rumors, even in the Qin Palace, no one could get ten steps in front of the emperor unless they had made great contributions.

When the three of them raised their glasses, Jiang Qi discovered something terrifying. The empress's wrist was missing the toad's blood.

She shuddered and almost threw away the wine glass.

Who else could have done this? The only possibility was her brother.

It's really... amazing...

Jiang Qi didn't know how to describe it.

The empress obviously noticed the strangeness in Jiang Qi's eyes, but she didn't say anything.

Eating delicious fish head and pancakes and drinking Shaodaozi, the atmosphere between the three people gradually became lively.

During the meal, Jiang Qi talked about the recent situation of the Black Sail Gang. Overall, everything was normal. After the last cleansing of the gang, there was no second voice. In addition to the welfare policy promoted by Jiang Qi, now it can be said that everyone is united.

The development is naturally very rapid. With the support of Qin Guo's book, the second prince of Wei Guo and the princess of the country, and Jiang Fan's behind-the-scenes assistance, the Black Sail Gang is now a different place. It has completely suppressed the other two major forces, almost monopolized all transportation and trade along the river, and occupied 70% of the docks along the river.

The Black Sail Gang is no longer the third-rate force that makes a living by robbing. Now, in addition to the canal transport and dock business, the Black Sail Gang has also taken on the business of river guards. It has jumped from a black and evil force to a security giant. This is something Jiang Fan did not expect.

He could not help but admire it. The girl is still very business-minded.

The empress was also quite satisfied with this. After all, Canglan had a long time in Qin State. As an emperor, she did not want to be troubled by water bandits. And the secret transportation route of the Black Sail Gang also played a certain role in the great cause of the empress. Because some things cannot be put on the table, they can only be done secretly.

Jiang Qi also said something about the second prince who had been dealing with him for a long time. He seemed to no longer compete for power in the court. He invested a lot of energy in business and became the richest man in Wei State.

Although many literary celebrities expressed great dissatisfaction with the talented Second Prince's abandonment of literature and business, the Second Prince still went his own way and his business was booming. Especially in the field of finished clothing and accessories, he almost had a monopoly. Once the finished clothing was launched, it was very popular because of its novel style, complete models, and lower prices due to mass production. Now, who doesn't have a few pieces of Jianzi-shaped clothes?

Nowadays, in addition to cooperating with the Black Sail Gang, Cao Laoer has also established a long-term cooperative relationship with the Yuwen family's horse gang. The business spreads across Wei and Qin, and even began to expand towards Jin and Xia.

Of course, there is one thing that only Jiang Fan knows, Cao Laoer also has a huge and stable customer, Ji Le City.

Everything is developing in a good direction, but Jiang Qi still raised a hidden danger.

Under the suppression of the Black Sail Gang, the big and small forces on the river were almost eliminated. Only the other two powerful opponents still exist, after all, they also have a strong backstage behind them.

Although they were unable to compete with the Black Sail Gang and had to become cowards, they were probably thinking about getting rid of Jiang Qi all the time. And those small and medium-sized forces that were dispersed by Jiang Qi also joined these two families.

Especially recently, the two families have made many strange moves. Jiang Qi always feels that something is going to happen, but there is no clue yet.

In Jiang Fan's view, these are inevitable. Last time, he asked Jiang Qi to eliminate the hostile forces as soon as possible, and she did a good job. But these two families are special. One of them is the Cao Gang. There is definitely someone behind this force, but the main reason why Jiang Qi can't act justifiably is because this family is openly engaged in legal water transport.
