Qiu Xingbo had indeed taken the opportunity of climbing a tree to pick Chen Xiaomu down, and planned to poison him in order to prevent him from regretting the 49-sentence incantation and not handing over the treasure in two months. Now it seems that Chen Xiaomu saw his intention clearly. He also made it clear with blunt words that it would be difficult for him to take action again. After all, he was also regarded as a highly respected person in the world, so he still needed a little face.
At this moment, Qiu Xingbo had no choice but to find his own way, and said to Chen Xiaomu with a smile on his face: "Chen Prince Consort is so suspicious by nature, so I am happy to save trouble!"
Although he wanted to enjoy Wei Yu's warm and soft jade embrace again, but seeing her face pale and panting from exhaustion under the tree, Chen Xiaomu couldn't bear to work on her anymore. After a moment of daze, Chen Xiaomu then stretched out his hand to lift her up. He stuffed the hem of his robe into the cloth belt around his waist, spat into his palms, rubbed his hands, stretched out his arms to hug the tree trunk, hooked his feet, pressed his body close to the tree, and jumped out of the tree with a "chirp" Sliding down, because when he was in school in his previous life, he had done many things like fishing in rivers and climbing up trees to dig out bird's nests, so his movements of climbing up and down trees seemed neat and neat, with no unnecessary movements at all. nothing!
Poison Centipede Qiu Xingbo couldn't help but sneer when he saw the situation: "I didn't expect that a royal relative like Chen Consort would be so proficient in these sneaky tricks that are spread in the market!"
Chen Xiaomu retorted, "Isn't this much more polite than your bullying of the weak and grabbing people's things directly?"
Qiu Xingbo not only didn't get angry when he heard this, but laughed out loud, and said without any subtlety: "Yes, Prince Consort Chen, you are right. In this world, no matter who you are, as long as it is something that I like, then you will be fine." It will definitely become my thing!”
Qiu Xingbo's tone was almost extremely arrogant, but it could also be heard from his tone that he thought he was the boss in the world today. He knew that he was not the only one hiding around the princess's mansion, yet he dared to say such arrogant words. , which shows that he doesn’t take anyone in the world seriously at all!
Faced with Qiu Xingbo's arrogance, Chen Xiaomu could only laugh it off. In the face of his absolute strength, he had to learn to be a good man and not suffer immediate losses. If he persisted, he would be asking for trouble.
Qiu Xingbo squinted at Chen Xiaomu, who was lowering his head to straighten his wrinkled robe, and mocked: "Chen Prince Consort, I will pay you for your clothes later. I think you should go and get your treasure first." Bring the porcelain to me, and let's settle this today.
Chen Xiaomu stopped dusting his clothes and nodded, "Okay, I'll get it for you, but I have a condition. You can't follow me into the princess's mansion."
"If I don't follow you into the princess's mansion and watch, who knows whether the treasure you took out is real or fake?" Qiu Xingbo asked suspiciously.
Chen Xiaomu smiled lightly and said, "Can you tell whether it's true or false if you go into the house with me to get it?"
Qiu Xingbo was startled when he heard this. He thought about it carefully and realized that he was right. He had never seen what this so-called treasure looked like. How could he tell the truth from the fake? He couldn't help but hesitated and said: "Chen Prince Consort, how can you guarantee this?" Is the treasure you gave me from the house real?"
Chen Xiaomu said calmly: "Before I hand it over to you, I will demonstrate it to you to see whether it is true or false."
After pondering for a moment, Qiu Xingbo nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then I won't go into the princess's mansion with you, but you have to keep this little girl as a hostage for me. If you don't take the treasure out of the princess's mansion within an hour, Take it out and I'll kill her first!"
Chen Xiaomu frowned. He had never been threatened face to face like this before, but the reality of the situation made him quite helpless. He could only say bitterly: "Just wait, I will get the treasure to you in less than an hour." You." After saying that, he turned to look at Wei Yuxin and left.
Chen Xiaomu hurriedly walked into the courtyard where he and Su Xingran were in the princess's mansion, and began to look around. Several maids who were chatting together saw him coming in, and they all came over to salute him. Chen Xiaomu waved randomly. , but his eyes were suddenly fixed on a black bowl placed by the garden wall. He walked up and picked up the black bowl in three or two steps. He looked at it carefully in his hand, looking very obsessed. A maid saw this. He came over and introduced: "Prince-in-law, this bowl is reserved by the princess for Huanxi to eat."
"Huanxi, who is Huanxi?" Chen Xiaomu looked up at the maid and asked in surprise.
The maid smiled and said: "Huanxi is a puppy raised by the princess. It's so funny. It's all white and looks like it's rolling a snowball when it runs on the ground."
"Oh, what about the dog? Why have I never seen it before?" Chen Xiaomu looked around and asked curiously.
The maid took a step forward and told him with a smile, "Prince-in-law, when the princess went to Chen State to get married, because she was afraid of the inconvenience of carrying Huanxi on the way, she sent Huanxi to the palace. Since then, Huanxi has been kept in the palace by the queen. The maid next to the empress was looking after her. No, when the princess came to the palace to visit the empress a few days ago, she brought joy back to her. The maid heard from the princess that in the next two days, the palace would send someone to bring joy back to the princess. Mansion."
Chen Xiaomu weighed the bowl in his hand, then stuffed it into his arms, and said to the maid: "Let me use this bowl first. If the princess asks, just tell me to take it away!"
The maid asked, "Sister-in-law, the princess picked out this happy meal bowl with his own hands. The princess is resting in the room right now, so it would be best for the prince-son-in-law to go and tell the princess personally."
Chen Xiaomu thought for a moment and said, "That's okay. I'll go into the house and talk to the princess." He moved his legs and walked into the house.
Su Xingran was lying on the sofa in the house, thinking. He raised his eyes and saw Chen Xiaomu coming in from the outside. He quickly sat up from the sofa and said with a smile: "Husband, you said those people in the world really dare to attack me, Qingfeng." Princess mansion?"
Chen Xiaomu smiled slightly and said: "Honey, if you had asked me this an hour ago, I would have definitely said yes, but it is different now. I made it self-defeating and instead came across a very good opportunity. Now these people in the world not only don't They will attack our princess's mansion, and I will ask them to collect money to help the Zheng court tide over the current difficulties!"
"Oh! How can such a good thing happen?" Su Xingran stood up from his knees in surprise and looked at Chen Xiaomu doubtfully.
"Don't worry, I have everything under control." Chen Xiaomu reached out and patted Su Xingran on the shoulder, saying confidently.
"Husband, what do you need me to do now?" From Su Xingran's expression, she still seemed a little worried.
Chen Xiaomu took out the black bowl from his arms and said to Su Xingran with a smile: "Honey, you just need to give me this black bowl, and let the kitchen fry more chicken nuggets and scald them the way Miss Wei cooked in the morning. Just put the jug of good wine in the food box and give it to me."
Su Xingran took the black bowl and said in surprise: "Husband, isn't this the food bowl I left for Huanxi? What do you want it for?"
Chen Xiaomu smiled and did not explain in detail, but just said: "Honey, this bowl is very important to what I want to do. Are you willing to give it to me?"
Su Xingran smiled and said: "Husband, why are you and I so polite all of a sudden? You can take whatever you want in the princess's house!" No need to tell me specifically. "
Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Honey, I won't be polite to you anymore." After saying that, he reached out and put the bowl back into his arms.
Su Xingran then called the maid and asked her to tell the kitchen to make a fried chicken meal box and deliver it according to Chen Xiaomu's instructions.
''You actually put this treasure in a food box? "Seeing Chen Xiaomu carrying a large food box, leisurely walking towards him, Qiu Xingbo bulged his eyes and asked doubtfully, in his impression, this priceless treasure should be placed in a gorgeously decorated brocade box. right!
Chen Xiaomu chuckled and said, "I'm not afraid that you'll get hungry after waiting here for a long time, so I asked the kitchen of the Princess Mansion to prepare some food and wine to bring you over to satisfy your hunger."
"Are you so kind? I stole your treasure, and you still treat me to a drink?" Qiu Xingbo asked doubtfully, almost certain that Chen Xiaomu had tampered with the food and wine.
Chen Xiaomu did not defend himself, and reached out to open the lid of the food box. A large plate of golden fried chicken nuggets with fragrant aroma was immediately presented in front of him. Next to the chicken nuggets was a high-necked celadon wine flask that could hold two kilograms of wine. and four thin celadon wine glasses and several pairs of chopsticks.
Qiu Xingbo swallowed secretly and sneered: "Chen Prince Consort, don't bother. Even if what you show is dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, I will never use my chopsticks! If you know how to behave, don't do such things." Xutou! Hurry up and give the treasure to me, and you and I will be safe."
Chen Xiaomu sighed slightly and said bluntly: "Is it possible that you are afraid that I will poison the food and wine?"
Chen Xiaomu revealed his worries, and Qiu Xingbo's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He forced a smile and said: "Chen Prince Consort, as the head of the Five Poison Sect, when it comes to using poisons, looking at the world today, I have never lost to anyone!"
Chen Xiaomu smiled and said: "Isn't it done? If I poisoned myself in front of Head Qiu, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? Besides, Head Qiu just said that he robbed my treasure. I have to correct this for you. This treasure was obviously given to Master Qiu by me, so why did Master Qiu come to snatch it? If this matter spreads to the world, wouldn't it ruin Master Qiu's reputation!"
Qiu Xingbo was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound, then gave Chen Xiaomu a thumbs up, laughed loudly and said: "High! Chen Prince Consort, I misjudged you. No wonder you can take the position of Prince Consort of Zheng State. In terms of being a human being, It’s really hard for any ordinary person to compare with you!”
''Hmph, even ordinary people would be hard-pressed to be as shameless as him. His things were robbed by others, and he would flatter others with shame. "Wei Yu, who was on the side, had already calmed down. At this time, Wen Ting couldn't help but said with disdain.
Qiu Xingbo turned around and waved his hand towards Wei Yuxin, and said slowly: "Little girl, don't be ignorant. It was also to save you that Prince Consort Chen gave me the treasure in exchange for your life. Now you are still laughing at him, It really shouldn’t be!”
Wei Yuxin was speechless by Qiu Xingbo's words. Qiu Xingbo's words were true and she had no way to refute, so she had to lower her head and say nothing.
Chen Xiaomu reached out and picked up the chopsticks from the food box, picked up a piece of chicken nugget and put it into his mouth. While chewing, he praised Qiu Xingbo: "It smells so good. Master Qiu, don't you want a piece?"
Qiu Xingbo hesitated for a moment, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a small piece of fried chicken nuggets where Chen Xiaomu had pinched them. He slowly put it into his mouth and chewed slowly. With many years of experience, he felt that Chen Xiaomu's fried chicken nuggets were It was definitely not poisoned. On the contrary, the taste of the chicken nuggets was so delicious that he had never tasted it before. Then he put down his scruples and started to eat in large pieces.
Seeing this, Chen Xiaomu picked up the celadon flask and poured two full glasses of wine. He picked up one glass first, drank the wine in the glass like drinking water, put down the glass, smacked his mouth, shook his head again, and smiled at Qiu Xingbo. : "This wine doesn't have much flavor, I'm just afraid that Master Qiu won't be used to it!"
"Oh, really?" Qiu Xingbo suddenly became interested after hearing this. He stretched out his hand to take the remaining glass of wine, first put it under his nose and smelled it, then raised the glass and drank it in one gulp, wiping the remaining wine drops on his beard. , said to Chen Xiaomu with a serious look on his face: "Chen Prince Consort, this wine is the authentic wine used by the court of Chu State. The name of the wine is "Chu Liuxiang" and it is the best wine in the world. I wonder why Chen Prince Consort said this just now?"
"Haha, that's because Master Qiu has never tasted the wine I brewed!" Chen Xiaomu laughed without any humility.
Qiu Xingbo was surprised and said: "Could it be that Chen's consort also knows the art of making wine?"
Chen Xiaomu smiled and said, "When I brew good wine, I will give some to Master Qiu to try."
"Okay, it's a deal!" Qiu Xingbo shouted happily.
A pot of wine, except for Chen Xiaomu's first drink, the rest went into the belly of the poisonous centipede Qiu Xingbo. He also ate up half of the chicken nuggets in the food box. After drinking the last drop of wine in the celadon wine pot, Qiu Xingbo was completely He was half drunk, so he pushed the food box to the side, stretched out his hand to Chen Xiaomu, and said: "Chen Prince Consort, please give me your treasure!"
Without saying anything, Chen Xiaomu reached out and took out the black bowl where the pet dog happily ate and handed it over. Qiu Xingbo stretched out his hands and carefully took the black bowl. He turned it over and over in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see anything interesting. , this is an ordinary black bowl, which is more refined than the rice bowls that ordinary people use for eating. He couldn't help but raise his head and doubted Chen Xiaomu: "Chen Prince Consort, is this the so-called treasure you said?"
Chen Xiaomu nodded with certainty and said: "Exactly, my treasure is called Concept!"
"Concept, you're such a big-headed devil!" Qiu Xingbo almost cursed because he had just been so soft-spoken. He couldn't help but said angrily in his heart: "You pretty boy, you are clearly treating me like a monkey and hiding your real treasure." , find a small broken bowl to deceive me. I have been walking around in the world all year round. I have seen a lot. What kind of scams have I never seen? Do you think I am that easy to deceive? "
At that moment, Qiu Xingbo sneered and said: "Haha, it's a coincidence, Prince Consort Chen, that I also have a treasure called concept, but you only have one, and I have them in piles. You can have as many as you want!"
"Ouch!" Chen Xiaomu pretended to be horrified when he heard this: "Master Qiu, are you kidding me? This is the bowl that the Jade Emperor used to beg for food when he was in trouble. There is boundless spiritual energy hidden in the bowl."
Qiu Xingbo didn't say anything. He suppressed the anger in his chest for the time being. He looked at the beautiful face in front of him with his mouth opening and closing, chattering nonsense, and said to himself: "I'll see how you demonstrate it later. If it doesn't suit me, I don’t care what kind of consort you are, I’ll turn your pretty face into a meat pie face with just one palm!"
While Chen Xiaomu was taking a breather, Qiu Xingbo said coldly: "Chen Prince Consort, you have said so much, and I won't be able to understand it for a while. How about you demonstrate it to me on the spot?"
"Okay!" Chen Xiaomu readily agreed: "Then please put a hand in the bowl, Master Qiu, and I will recite the incantation. Before I finish reciting the incantation forty-nine times, Master Qiu's hand must not be removed from the bowl." How about taking it out at will?"
''This is acceptable. "Qiu Xingbo was focused on exposing Chen Xiaomu's scam. After hearing this, he quickly put one of his hands into the bowl. Chen Xiaomu quickly sat cross-legged, clasped his hands together, like a monk in the temple meditating and chanting sutras, squinting his eyes and mumbling. He was mumbling something, but no matter how Qiu Xingbo pricked up his ears, he couldn't understand what he was saying!
About half an hour later, Qiu Xingbo was feeling impatient. At this time, Chen Xiaomu suddenly opened his eyes and asked Qiu Xingbo, "Master Qiu, can you feel any changes in your body?" "
Qiu Xingbo shook his head and said honestly: "No, it's just that the hand that has been placed in the bowl for a long time is a little numb."
Chen Xiaomu casually took out a celadon wine glass from the food box and asked Qiu Xingbo to open his palm and hold the wine glass in his palm. Then he smiled and said to Qiu Xingbo: "Master Qiu, don't use your own skills on this wine glass. Just shout. "
Looking at the celadon wine glass half a foot away from his face, Qiu Zhangbo said blankly: "What are you calling? You can't let me call him daddy!"
Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but laugh and said: "You can shout whatever you want, even if it's just "ah".
When Qiu Xingbo heard this, he immediately shouted "Ah" at the wine glass he was holding in his hand. The wine glass in his hand fell apart, and the celadon wine glass that was just fine turned into broken porcelain shards on the ground.
Qiu Xingbo was stunned for a moment. He looked at the broken pieces of porcelain that fell to the ground in disbelief. Then he looked up at Chen Xiaomu and said in shock: "Chen Prince Consort, what are you doing?"
Chen Xiaomu smiled slightly and said: "Master Qiu's words are wrong. What tricks can I play in front of you, an old Jianghu, without you seeing through it? This is because you have soaked up the spiritual energy in this bowl, which has increased your own skill. At least more than 50%!”
