Chen Xiaomu said with a smile: "If you are willing to do it? Just kill it. I am not afraid of death. Isn't there a saying that it is romantic to die under flowers and become a ghost!"
"You shameless scoundrel! Let me go quickly!" Wei Yuxin gritted his teeth and cursed. The palm of his hand that slapped Chen Xiaomu's back inadvertently weakened a lot.
"Unless you agree to stay and help me, you will kill me and I will still hold you!" Chen Xiaomutian said shamelessly.
Wei Yu sighed quietly, "Friend, please let go of your hand. I promised you, but I will stay and help you for ten days at most. Then you take the money and I will leave. Don't play rogue with me anymore! Listen!" understand?"
Chen Xiaomu stopped when he saw that he was good, immediately released his hands, nodded and said: "Okay, when the ten days are up, I will give you one million taels of silver in exchange for it, and you can come and go freely. A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with." !”
When Wei Yuxin heard this, he couldn't help curling his lips and said disdainfully: "You! Are you worthy of being called a gentleman? I think you are a complete scoundrel."
Chen Xiaomu didn't care, but smiled and agreed: "Yes, I am a complete scoundrel. When the time comes, don't blame me for relying on you again."
When Wei Yuxin heard this, he immediately glared at Chen Xiaomu and said angrily: "How dare you!"
Chen Xiaomu laughed and said over and over again: "Yes, yes, I don't dare, even if I have ten more courages, I won't dare to find trouble with Miss Wei!"
Wei Yuxin nodded with satisfaction, "Well, I don't think you have the guts!"
Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but smile to himself when he heard this, and said to himself, "I'm relying on you now! What can you do to me!"
"Oh, that's right!" Chen Xiaomu slapped his thigh, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked Wei Yu: "Miss Wei, did you pick up the clothes you and I made at Baofuji Cloth Shop yesterday?"
His question made Wei Yu feel a little shy for a moment, and he nodded slightly.
Chen Xiaomu said with a bad smile: "Come on, Miss Wei, we are going to find a place right now. You put on your new clothes and let me see if they fit you and look good!"
Wei Yu rolled his eyes at Chen Xiaomu and scolded: "Bah, you idiot, is there anything else you don't want to do? Get out of here!"
Chen Xiaomu acted as if he didn't hear Wei Yuxin's scolding. Instead, he moved closer to Wei Yuxin with saliva on his face, and then said with a serious face: "Miss Wei, I'm sure you are thinking wrong. I'm just I think you have such a good figure, you will look even more beautiful and charming after wearing this new outfit!"
"Get lost." Wei Yu was annoyed and anxious. He unexpectedly raised his jade foot and kicked Chen Xiaomu on the butt. Chen Xiaomu was caught off guard and almost stumbled. After that, he swayed all the way and finally stopped, and looked back angrily. : "Wei Yuxin, you want to kill your husband! What if you hit a tree now?"
Wei Yuxin sneered: "Even if you really hit a tree, you deserve it. Who told you to be so mean!"
"You...!" Chen Xiaomu was angry, but he didn't dare to say anything too harsh, for fear that Wei Yuxin would give him another kick, and he would have nothing to say about the pain.
Wei Yuxin saw that Chen Xiaomu was like a mouse falling into a bellows. He was holding his breath but did not dare to let it out in front of her. He stood there blankly, his face turned red, and he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. He thought to himself: " Enemy, you will eventually feel embarrassed in front of my aunt!"
"Tell me, you are begging for nothing to keep me here to help. What do you want me to do? Let me tell you first, I will not do anything for you that goes against human ethics: murder and arson!" Wei Yu couldn't help but endure it. He smiled and looked at Chen Xiaomu coldly.
Chen Xiaomu said angrily: "Are you used to killing people and setting fires in the arena? You always kill people and set fires! I want you to catch the thief for me, okay?"
"Catch the thief?" Wei Yuxin asked curiously: "Who in this new capital city is so bold as a bear's heart and a leopard's heart? If you dare to steal the princess's mansion, aren't you afraid that you will be caught and your family will be confiscated and your family will be destroyed?"
Chen Xiaomu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Who else could it be besides you gang of desperadoes?"
"Nonsense!" Wei Yuxin said angrily: "We Jianghu masters never disdain the crowing of chickens and dogs, so why do you talk about thieves?"
"Haha." Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but sneered, "Does Qiu Xingbo, the head of the Five Poison Sect just now, be considered a member of your world?" "
"Of course he forgot about it." Wei Yu nodded without thinking.
Chen Xiaomu shrugged and said contemptuously: "Didn't you see that he just took the treasure that originally belonged to me from my hands!"
''He was robbing, not stealing as you say. "Wei Yuxin immediately corrected him.
"Oh!" Chen Xiaomu said sarcastically: "I have really learned a lesson this time. It turns out that robbing in the world is the right way, and stealing is a despised evil way!"
Wei Yuxin wondered: "Is there anything wrong? In the world of martial arts, strength is what matters. Who said your skills are not as good as others? You deserve to have your treasure taken away! Even if they don't take your life, they are benevolent!"
Wei Yuxin's lofty remarks made Chen Xiaomu shut up instantly. In the face of these ancient jungle laws where the weak preyed on the strong, he felt more and more that he had to find a way to make a mobile phone as soon as possible to protect himself in the near future, otherwise his life He could just throw it away at any time. However, what troubled him was that gunpowder was now available, and the brass for making bullets was not a problem. He just needed to get some copper coins and melt them. The key was that there was nowhere to get the steel for making mobile phones. If he used the existing Made of fine iron, it will probably explode if fired! "
Seeing the dejected look of Chen Xiaomu in front of him, Wei Yu felt a little unbearable in his heart and comforted Chen Xiaomu: "It's okay, you are not a person in the world, naturally no one will come to you to fight bravely, and you can save your own life." No worries."
Chen Xiaomu said listlessly: "I am not a man of the world, but my treasures were still robbed!"
Wei Yuxin didn't listen to this and was still angry. When he heard Chen Xiaomu's crooked tone, he immediately became angry and couldn't help but angrily said: "Who told you that you can't keep any leftover cakes in the doghouse? Take them out everywhere." You slut, now you have been snatched away and you have to accept your fate! "
Chen Xiaomu secretly laughed in his heart, "You little bitch knows how to use a hammer, I'm just counting on this dog-feeding bowl to cover your money, you self-righteous idiots! But he still has to do a good job on the surface, because he was just beaten by Wei Yu Chen Xiaomu was kicked in the heart. Although it didn't hurt much, there was still lingering fear in his heart. Therefore, Chen Xiaomu unconsciously took two steps back, then he hesitated and said to Wei Yuxin: "Miss Wei, I have an unkind request. I don't know how to handle it." Shouldn't it be said? "
Wei Yuxin rolled his eyes and said, "Say."
Chen Xiaomu said: "I would like to ask Miss Wei to lead her subordinates to ambush around Princess Qingfeng's mansion and help me catch those who want to break into the princess's mansion and steal property."
"No." Wei Yu refused without even thinking.
Chen Xiaomu said anxiously: "Why not? Didn't you promise to help me catch the thief before?"
Wei Yuxin said coldly: "Your princess's mansion has a lot of guards, so why do we need to take action to catch some little thieves? If word spreads, I can't afford to lose that person!"
Chen Xiaomu argued hastily: ''Didn't you also see that there are little thieves there? They all come from various sects in the world. For example, the leader of the Five Poison Sect and the fat monk who just appeared, who is a good person? "
Wei Yu thought for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "I can agree to this, but I have one condition. If you agree, then everything will be fine."
Chen Xiaomu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Miss Wei, as long as it's something I can do within my power, it doesn't matter if I say a hundred things, not just one thing!"
Wei Yu smiled heartily, "Actually, it's not a big deal. Since you came forward to ask us to catch the thief for you, you naturally can't be idle. I want you to accompany us to catch the thief. You can accompany us for a few days to catch the thief. how?"
Chen Xiaomu was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Miss Wei, look at my body, I still want to catch a thief! Don't let the thief catch me then!"
Wei Yuxin stared at Chen Xiaomu and said, "I'm not asking you to catch thieves with us, you just need to accompany us."
"Then why bother?" Chen Xiaomu shook his head: "I'm afraid that if I encounter a thief then, not only will I not be able to help you, but I will also have to spare your hands to protect me. Then wouldn't I become a burden?"
Seeing that Chen Xiaomu had just made a vow and was now pushing back and forth, Wei Yu's heart suddenly surged with anger. He flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "My aunt is quitting. Mr. Chen, please hire someone else!"
"Hey, hey, didn't we make an agreement, Miss Wei? Why did you change your mind when you said you would?" Chen Xiaomu hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
"Haha." Wei Yuxin sneered and glared at Chen Xiaomu, "You also know what you just said, are you only allowed to go back on it?"
''Okay, okay, it's up to you! I'll go with you to catch the thief. "Chen Xiaomu was like a defeated rooster at this time, listless.
"Well, that's pretty much it." Wei Yu nodded with satisfaction.
"Miss Wei, you need to think clearly. Although I promised to catch the thief with you, if I cause you any trouble, don't blame me!" Chen Xiaomu saw that Wei Yuxin's attitude had softened, and he refused to give up. I want to try again.
Wei Yuxin calmed down and thought about it carefully, and felt that what Chen Xiaomu said was reasonable, so he said: "In this case, we will catch the thief for you, and you can prepare some midnight snacks for us to eat at night. What do you think?" ?”
"Okay, I've got this one!" Chen Xiaomu not only agreed immediately, but also stepped forward to please: "You can tell me in advance what you like to eat, and I will send someone out to buy it immediately."
The two negotiated terms, and Wei Yuxin went back to summon her subordinates to set up an ambush at the princess's mansion. As soon as Chen Xiaomu returned to the princess's mansion, he ran into Lu Yi and Wang Wu who were looking for him. Even though they were far away, Lu Yi cupped his fists and reported. : "Your Highness, I bought all the necessary items according to your instructions."
Chen Xiaomu waved his hand enthusiastically: "Let's go and have a look."
"Here." Lu Yi agreed and quickly turned around to lead the way beside Chen Xiaomu. Wang Wu waited for Chen Xiaomu to walk over, then quickly followed behind him. This is the most basic common sense for a qualified follower.
A carriage stopped in front of the screen wall in the princess's palace. The driver was holding the reins of the horse in front. Behind the carriage were two guards with knives standing on the left and right. Looking at this posture, ordinary people would definitely think that the carriage must contain some value. A priceless item.
Chen Xiaomu pointed to the wooden board covering the carriage and told Lu Yi: "Commander Lu, go up and open it for me to see."
"Here." Lu Yi agreed, jumped up on the frame, reached out and pulled off the cover of the upper compartment. The compartment full of black fishnets suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Chen Xiaomu stepped forward and pulled it with his hands. , quite strong, and it felt like it was woven from hemp rope. At this time, Lu Yi took out a few bamboo strands from under the fishing net and stood them up on the carriage for Chen Xiaomu to watch.
When Lu Yi got off the carriage, Chen Xiaomu pointed to the trees in the princess's mansion and told him: "Captain Lu, go and send more people and give me all the branches of the trees in the princess's mansion that can support people." Hang up the fishing nets, two or three on big trees, and one on small trees. Hang them invisibly so that no one can see them from the outside. After they are done, cut all the bamboo tubes into five-inch long bamboo sticks, and hang them along the edges. Bury it under the wall of the Princess Mansion, and cover it with virtual soil. Also, the Princess Mansion Guards will only be responsible for guarding the Princess Mansion courtyard for the next three days. No matter what happens outside the wall, don't send anyone out to deal with it. Got it. ?"
"Well, I remember this!" Lu Yi didn't ask any more questions, raised his hand in a military salute and hurried away.
Chen Xiaomu turned around and saw Wang Wu still standing behind him. As if he suddenly remembered, he looked at Wang Wu and said with a smile: "Captain Wang, is there anyone familiar with the new Jing government office?"
Wang Wu thought for a moment and said with a naive smile: "Yes, there is one. We were drinking together two days ago, but I don't know what your highness meant?"
"How is our relationship with you?" Chen Xiaomu then asked.
Wang Wu smiled and said: "The relationship is not really a friendship. He and I are just from the same hometown, but I am not bragging. Although his official position is several levels higher than mine, I am working as an errand in Princess Qingfeng's mansion. When he talks to me, he still gives way to me in terms of words!"
Chen Xiaomu nodded and said with a smile: "It's several levels higher than your official position!" Then I guess he should be considered a prominent figure in Xinjing Mansion? "
"Yes," Wang Wu said, "He is currently the magistrate of Xinjing Mansion, and his name is Jia Gui."
''OK! Chen Xiaomu said happily: "Can you go to him and borrow some prison cars and cages for a few days?" "
Wang Wu blinked and said in confusion: "Your Highness, why did you borrow those instruments for punishing prisoners? Besides, it would be unlucky to put those ominous things in the princess's mansion!"
Chen Xiaomu said disapprovingly: "It's just some tools. It's not auspicious or unlucky. Go quickly, otherwise it will be dark soon. If you can really catch the thief, I will remember you." "
When it came to this matter, Wang Wu did not dare to ask any more questions and agreed. He even forgot to do the military salute and hurried to the Xinjing government office.
Chen Xiaomu returned to his residence. Su Xingran was playing chess with Fu Rong, a female official in the princess's palace. Seeing him come in, Su Xingran raised her head and smiled at him. Fu Rong quickly stood up and saluted him. Chen Xiaomu waved his hand at her, indicating that she was exempt from the ceremony, and asked casually. : "Is the doctor back after going to see the blacksmith master?"
Furong said respectfully: "Prince-in-law, the imperial doctor has returned to the princess's residence."
"Oh!" Chen Xiaomu stopped when he heard this and asked Furong: "What kind of disease does the blacksmith master have?"
Fu Rong said: "I heard Doctor Wang came back and said that it seems to be tuberculosis. He has already prescribed a prescription and asked his apprentice to go to the drug store to get some medicine."
"That's good." Chen Xiaomu nodded. It was similar to what he had originally estimated. These blacksmiths were working all day long and were smoky. In addition, they were old, so it was normal to get this disease.
At this time, Su Xingran couldn't help but interrupt: "Husband, this blacksmith named Tao Hongjing is extraordinary. My father has a sword that cuts iron like clay and is extremely sharp. The sword called Dragon Tooth came from his hand!"
"Really? I didn't expect this pottery blacksmith to be so skilled!" Chen Xiaomu said perfunctorily to Su Xingran. In fact, he was not interested at all in these ancient sharp tools that cut iron as hard as mud. What he was interested in now was his ideas. You can make a weapon from the world you traveled to and use it for self-defense. Otherwise, in this world where cold weapons are king, your own physical strength will be too weak!
"Hey, husband, how about waiting for Blacksmith Tao to get better and ask him to make you a good sword for self-defense?" Su Xingran saw Chen Xiaomu's empty waist and suddenly thought that her husband still lacked a sword. You must know that in ancient times, swords were not only used for self-defense, but more importantly, they were also a symbol of status. Generally speaking, wealthy businessmen were not allowed to wear swords, no matter how much money they had at home, unless you spent money to buy the title of a country squire with the government. Only then are you allowed to wear the most common iron sword with a length of no more than two feet for self-defense. People like Chen Xiaomu, who holds a second-grade prince-in-law position in the imperial court, can wear a three-foot gold sword according to the standards set by the current imperial court. It is the kind of sword with a hilt inlaid with gold. If he is a first-rank official in the imperial court like Wei Wen, the standard for wearing it is that the hilt is inlaid with mountain xuan jade, and the sword is called a jade sword. The hilt of a third-rank official's sword is inlaid with ivory. Officials of high rank are inlaid with turquoise, and so on. Today, all countries have formulated a set of standards for swords worn by gentry, nobles and officials, so that they can be checked from time to time.
