Chapter 220 As long as Mr. Du nods, the transfer can be completed immediately~ (Sorry, there is only one chapter today, and it will be updated later)
Climbing a mountain is really easy for Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan.
Although there are buses that can go directly to the middle of the mountain, the two did not choose to take them. Instead, Du Ruo carried a backpack with two bottles of water in it and climbed up step by step.
The slope of Nanyue Hengshan Mountain is not very steep, and there are actually not many particularly beautiful views along the way. In fact, in the first half of the journey, the two met very few people.
Only after reaching the halfway point of the mountain and going up did you meet more people.
Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan are also very eye-catching in the crowd, not only because of their age, but more because of their speed.
There were very few steps along the way, and the road was just winding. The two chatted and laughed without stopping at all, and it only took them more than three hours to reach the Nantianmen at the top of the mountain.
Only when they arrived here did Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan understand why all the people coming here were elderly. They also roughly understood why Hengshan, which does not have any particularly beautiful scenery, can attract so many people to the mountain.
There were people coming and going on the top of the mountain. Only a few people were taking pictures around, while the rest took out the incense from their backpacks and then lined up to enter the temple to burn incense.
In fact, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan were only focused on climbing the mountain for the sake of climbing, while the other climbers came to burn incense and pray for blessings.
There are nearly 200 temples of all sizes around Hengshan Mountain. No matter what you want to pray for, you can find the corresponding temple.
The most famous thing about Hengshan is the Zhurong Temple on the top of the mountain. It is said that praying here is most effective. Seeing this, Xiang Yuanyuan also became interested.
The people of Fujian are the most pious when it comes to burning incense and praying, so Xiang Yuanyuan naturally would not miss such an opportunity when she came here.
I bought two sticks of incense with great interest and went into the temple to pray.
Every hall in the temple has a special statue of god. Xiang Yuanyuan would kowtow to each statue and pray sincerely.
Du Ruo just stood aside, and at most bowed, and didn't say much to Xiang Yuanyuan.
It is not surprising that Du Ruo does not worship. First of all, after practicing martial arts to his current level, he has his own god in his heart, or in other words, he is his own god, so naturally he does not need to kowtow and pray to other gods.
Secondly, this place is still a bit too commercialized, perhaps it is also related to the fact that too many people come here to pray.
Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan each held a bundle of incense. After Xiang Yuanyuan prayed in all the halls, he still held the bundle of incense in his hand, because there was no place to burn incense in the hall, and tourists were not allowed to put the incense in their hands there.
Finally, when they were about to leave the temple, they threw the incense into a furnace and burned it according to the staff's instructions.
This overly commercial approach made Du Ruo lose his favor for these famous mountains and temples, even though he knew in his heart that this was the best way for the scenic spot to deal with the situation.
Xiang Yuanyuan seemed to understand Du Ruo's thoughts. After leaving the temple, Xiang Yuanyuan no longer entered other temples, but focused on taking photos and watching American TV series.
The scenery at Hengshan Lusa Hall is average, but when you reach the top of the mountain and look down, the scenery becomes much more beautiful.
After taking some photos, the two started to go down the mountain.
The two no longer walked down the mountain, but chose to take a car down the mountain.
When the two returned to the foot of the mountain, it was just time for lunch.
There aren't that many particularly famous dishes here, but the two were not idle after dinner. Since they were out traveling, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan went to the big temple at the foot of the mountain.
The incense here is more popular and there are many people, but this time Xiang Yuanyuan had no interest in burning incense. Instead, she took various photos and videos and walked around the entire temple.
Climbing the mountain in the morning did not make Xiang Yuanyuan feel tired. She was still full of energy in the afternoon, and her laughter could be heard everywhere.
In the evening, the two even found a bar and sat down to have a few drinks, and then returned to the hotel to rest contentedly.
In the following time, the two continued their trip from Hengshan, took the high-speed rail to Changsha, ate stinky tofu, flavored shrimp, and even climbed Yuelu Mountain.
Although Yuelu Mountain is not a famous mountain, Xiang Yuanyuan still enjoyed climbing it. Except for the fact that there were too many mosquitoes, which made Xiang Yuanyuan feel a little uncomfortable, it was a good experience otherwise.
We stayed in Changsha for two more days, and the whole trip was just about eating, drinking and having fun.
It was almost time, and Xiang Yuanyuan was ready to book a ticket to Zhangjiajie.
Since they were already there, the two decided to have a good time. Besides, the pace of their play was not too fast. Stopping and walking all the time did not consume much energy.
But just when the two decided to rest for a night and set off the next day, Du Ruo unexpectedly received a call.
"Li Yu? Is there something wrong with you calling me at this time?"
Du Ruo answered the phone without much hesitation and asked directly.
In fact, Du Ruo had been receiving various messages from Yang Ling during these days, and knew that Li Yu had gone to the B&B to find him more than once.
I originally thought that the other party should not have a serious matter. After all, if it was really a serious matter, the other party would have his phone number, so it would not be a big deal to make a call.
"Boss Du, how are you doing recently? Are you still traveling?"
Li Yu's voice came from the phone, her tone was still neither hurried nor slow, as if it was not her who had been going to the B&B to look for someone in the past few days.
"It's been pretty good lately. I'm planning to go to Zhangjiajie tomorrow."
Du Ruo was sitting on the bed at this time, leaning against the pillow, speaking leisurely.
Since Li Yu was not in a hurry, he was even less anxious.
"Forehead…"
Li Yu did not expect Du Ruo's answer. She originally thought that Du Ruo would ask her the purpose of her call, but she did not expect that Du Ruo did not care at all and even wanted to continue traveling.
"Boss Du, our boss wants to invite you to come to the Magic City. I wonder if it's convenient for you."
In the end, Li Yu was unable to continue chatting with Du Ruo and told her the purpose of her call.
It's not that she was impatient, it's just that the pressure from above was too great. A few days ago, she still wanted to show her sincerity, so she went there in person every time, but who would have thought that Du Ruo was not at home at all.
Her boss became more and more impatient, which put more and more pressure on her, making it impossible for her to relax.
If Du Ruo must go to Zhangjiajie tomorrow, then she has no choice but to fly directly to Zhangjiajie tomorrow and invite Du Ruo in person.
"Is it urgent?"
Du Ruo was a little curious. It was the first time he heard Li Yu talk about her boss. This made him a little curious.
"Yes, it's urgent. If it's really inconvenient for you, you can also arrange a place and we will meet you there."
When Li Yu said the word "urgent", his tone was much heavier.
After listening to this, Du Ruo held the phone without saying anything. Anyway, he was not the one in a hurry, so there was no need to try so hard to please him.
"Boss Du, please spare some time. Don't worry, the compensation will definitely satisfy you. Even if you just come here for a short visit, you will definitely not leave in vain."
Li Yu spoke in a sincere tone and kept his attitude very low, which could even be described as pleading.
This would have been absolutely impossible in the past. Li Yu worked in finance, and even though they were just workers, they had a high opinion of themselves. Even when facing those bosses, they never felt that they were inferior to others.
Even if you only have money, they will still hold their heads high and look down on what they see as nouveau riche.
Now that they were bowing to Du Ruo, it was understandable that they were forced to a certain extent. Of course, this was also because Du Ruo was strong enough and they were in urgent need of him. "It's getting late today, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."
Du Ruo did not give a definite answer, but just said something ambiguous, and then hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to speak.
"Honey, are we going to the Magic City? I haven't been there yet, how about... we go there? I wonder if it's fun there?"
Xiang Yuanyuan lay on Du Ruo, with her head down, not looking at Du Ruo, and said something softly.
Du Ruo had no intention of hiding anything during the conversation between the two just now, and Xiang Yuanyuan heard it clearly from the side.
Naturally, she didn't want Du Ruo to go. The last time Li Yu came to Du Ruo and asked her to be a bodyguard, she knew at that time that it would be absolutely impossible to avoid danger if she had contact with Li Yu.
But she still didn't want to imprison Du Ruo for her own reasons. What's more, she knew in her heart that Du Ruo was definitely not someone she could trap. It would be better for her to support him silently from behind and let Du Ruo make his own decision.
"Well, go to bed early."
Du Ruo touched Xiang Yuanyuan's long hair, kissed her on the forehead, and then turned off the bedside lamp.
……
It was only eleven o'clock in the morning when the plane carrying Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan landed at the Magic City Airport.
Du Ruo walked out of the airport holding the luggage in one hand, while Xiang Yuanyuan held Du Ruo's arm and walked along the way, constantly looking left and right at the pedestrians in the airport.
Early in the morning, Du Ruo sent a message to Li Yu and decided to go to the Magic City.
It was less than six o'clock in the morning, but Li Yu replied immediately. Not only that, he also asked Du Ruo about the location and time, and arranged the itinerary along the way.
"Boss Du, Madam Boss, thank you for your hard work. This is my boss He Feng."
As soon as the two arrived at the airport, Li Yu appeared in front of them, took two quick steps forward, and introduced himself with a smile.
Li Yu is now completely different from when she was in Huangshan. She wears light makeup and high heels. Although she doesn't look lavishly adorned with jewelry, the overall feeling she gives is completely different.
"Mr. Du, Mrs. Du, I have prepared a wine banquet at home. I heard that you two love wine tasting. I happen to have a few bottles of good wine. Please come over and taste them."
He Feng was not very good-looking, only meters tall, and his clothes were not particularly flashy. Even the watch on his wrist was an old-fashioned Shanghai brand. He smiled when he spoke, and seemed particularly sincere.
In fact, if Li Yu hadn't been standing behind him, he might have been ignored if he walked in the crowd.
"Then excuse me."
Since Du Ruo had already decided to come, he had no intention of putting on airs and let the other party decide everything. Of course, he was also very curious about what the other party wanted to find him about, what kind of reward he could give, and even why he could say "I will never let him down".
"Please~"
He Feng made a gesture to invite everyone in, and then Li Yu walked in front to lead the way.
The Shanghai Airport is really big and very busy. If you are not a traveler in a hurry, you really won’t feel like you are in an airport.
After walking for about two minutes, I took the elevator to the parking lot.
As soon as I walked out of the elevator and took two steps, a Rolls-Royce stopped not far away.
As soon as they approached, the driver opened the car door and took the luggage from Du Ruo's hand. However, Du Ruo still held the Miao Dao in his hand and did not put it down.
After getting in the car and starting it, Du Ruo keenly discovered that there was a Mercedes-Benz following closely behind the Rolls-Royce.
"Is the Miao Dao in Mr. Du's hand the same one that was in the live studio?"
In the car, He Feng took the initiative to start the conversation. He looked curiously at the Miao Dao wrapped in cloth in Du Ruo's hand. His words also revealed that he had always been paying attention to Du Ruo.
"Well, I'm just a rough guy who practices martial arts. I like this knife very much, so I always carry it with me."
Du Ruo smiled, untied the cloth that wrapped the Miao Dao in his hand, and revealed the knife inside.
As the cloth was removed, the nearly sixty-centimeter-long Miao Dao was revealed.
The Miao Dao was shining with silver light all over, with a strange snake totem coiled on it. It was no longer the dark appearance it had in the live broadcast room.
This is what Du Ruo did after consulting Brother Quan and cleaning the black patina and oxidation substances on it.
"Tsk, it's really beautiful. It's true that a sword goes well with a hero. If this sword falls into my hands, I'm afraid it will continue to be covered in dust."
He Feng looked at the Miao Dao in Du Ruo's hand with admiration in his eyes. The key point was that his words really made people feel comfortable.
"Haha, just tell me that I don't know how to cherish treasures."
Du Ruo couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Obviously, Du Ruo cleaned the patina and oxidation off the sword, causing the value of this 50,000 yuan Miao Dao to plummet, but it sounded like a compliment and people didn't feel that the other party was mocking him at all.
"That's not true. In our hands, the greatest value of an antique is its age, but in Mr. Du's hands, it's completely different..."
The car was very stable and He Feng spoke very nicely. Du Ruo didn't notice the passage of time while sitting in the car.
When the car stopped, Du Ruo had a certain understanding of He Feng.
He Feng is a typical businessman, but he does not speak in a utilitarian way like a businessman. It is obvious that his level is no longer comparable to that of ordinary businessmen.
When getting out of the car, Du Ruo couldn't help but be a little shocked.
This should be He Feng's private residence. In a city like Shanghai, not to mention the luxurious decoration of this manor, just in Shanghai where every inch of land is valuable, such an area seems exaggerated.
This is a manor. The vehicle is parked directly in front of the building. In front of you is a three-story building, which definitely covers an area of more than a thousand square meters. The age of the manor can be seen from its retro multi-colored glass.
"Wow, this manor is really magnificent."
After Du Ruo got off the car, he couldn't help but sigh.
"If Mr. Du likes it, I can transfer the ownership right away."
He Feng stood aside and said something as if jokingly.
"Tsk tsk ~ How much is this manor worth?"
Du Ruo just smiled and asked.
"This manor is priced but not sold. It is basically not circulated in the market. If you have to give a price, it is probably in the ten figures."
Before He Feng could speak, Li Yu at the side said something softly.
"Haha, being able to get to know Mr. Du cannot be measured by money, but what I just said is still valid. All I need is Mr. Du's nod, and I will handle all the formalities."
At this time, He Feng on the side spoke with a smile and a serious look.
