Shen Xu ignored him and took one of Master Ma's iron pens. He showed the mechanism on it and explained, "Uncle Ma, there are four mechanisms installed here. When you trigger them, the iron pen will expand several inches, achieving the effect of attacking the enemy by surprise."
Master Ma excitedly picked up the pair of iron pens and tested the mechanism, which worked very smoothly. "Okay, I'm going to go and show off to Old Song."
After saying that, he took the pair of iron pens and ran towards the yamen prison.
Pei Zhiyuan also became interested and asked, "What did you say you added to the iron pen just now?"
"Chromium ore can increase the hardness and toughness of iron products. Because the mechanism will increase the load of the weapon, the material needs to be improved."
"You even understand this. Have you really lost your memory?" Pei Zhiyuan exclaimed in amazement. He felt more and more that this trip to Qingzhou to capture the Thirteenth Prince was very fruitful.
A small place like Langya County not only hides martial arts masters like Ma Daoyuan, the Iron Pen Judge, but also the martial arts skills of the Song uncle and nephew are astonishing.
Especially Captain Song, who held his own against the three masters of the Xuanjing Division, his swordsmanship reaching the pinnacle of perfection. If he hadn't stopped in time, the few men he brought with him wouldn't have been enough to kill those three...
However, this Miss Shen who has no martial arts skills is the most terrifying. If she is really the legitimate daughter of the northern traitor Xue family, then there will be big trouble.
If she used the weapons and skills she mastered to arm the entire rebel army, the court's existing military strength would be completely unable to resist.
Such a person must never regain his memory, nor fall into the hands of others.
If you can't use it for yourself...
Pei Zhiyuan's eyes were dark, and murderous thoughts were rising in his heart.
"Well, that's all I can remember. I have no impression of the person at all."
Pei Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes, leaned closer to her playfully, and said, "I've enjoyed the scenery of Langya County these past few days, and I've had enough of fighting with Constable Song. So, has Miss Shen's observation period for Pei ended? When can we set off?"
At this time, Song Lin hurried over and saw Pei Zhiyuan approaching Shen Xu and talking about something, so he domineeringly pulled Shen Xu into his arms and said in a bad tone: "What are you saying to her?"
"Captain Song is so nervous, but we're going to be together for a long time. Who knows, maybe Miss Shen will be attracted by my personality and fall in love with me?"
"Hmph, you'd better put away those inappropriate thoughts! Xiuxiu won't like someone like you!"
Ever since Pei Zhiyuan came, Song Lin always looked extremely nervous, fearing that his young wife would be deceived by this playboy. He wanted to keep an eye on him every day to see if he had any improper behavior.
"Okay, stop arguing, both of you." Seeing that the two were on the verge of fighting again, Shen Xu quickly stopped them.
"Husband, you've come just in time. There's news from the capital."
Shen Xu gently broke free from his embrace, grabbed his arm, and said solemnly, "It's time for us to set off."
"Um."
Pei Zhiyuan also became serious and asked, "Master Hua, what was the reply?"
"I asked you to bring the Thirteenth Prince back to the capital. As for recruiting experts, he said there was no need to specify this in the letter."
Hearing this, Pei Zhiyuan's tone was full of contempt, "It seems that the Imperial Master's meaning is very clear. He is not interested in you at all."
"This is a good thing." Shen Xu said disapprovingly: "This way, Master Pei can appoint us at will."
"oh?"
"Master Pei, can my husband bring Cheng'er to the Imperial Master in the name of your subordinate?"
Pei Zhiyuan crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows. "Then what are you going to do?"
Shen Xu chuckled and said, "It's a secret, let's wait and see."
"Then what benefits can I get?"
"treasure."
"Tsk, always making me guess, boring."
Pei Zhiyuan put on a relaxed and leisurely look again. He stretched his arms and said lazily, "When are we going to leave? The bed here is hard and uncomfortable. I miss the soft pillows and cushions in the capital."
Song Lin's face darkened, and he said unhappily, "You already have a wife, yet you're still thinking about Xiuxiu!"
"So what? A young man should be romantic. It's rare to find a girl who is both smart and beautiful these days. Now that I see one, I naturally have to fight for her."
"You bastard, you deserve it." Song Lin cursed without any hesitation.
Pei Zhiyuan raised his chin high and said with great authority, "Detective Song, don't forget what you promised me. You are my subordinate now. If you disrespect me like this, you will be punished."
Shen Xu looked at Song Lin doubtfully and asked, "What did you promise him?"
"Nothing. He asked us to join the Xuanjing Division before. I agreed, and my uncle agreed too."
Hearing this, Shen Xu's expression was filled with worry. She frowned and said, "Husband, why did you involve my uncle? We are not going to the capital for sightseeing."
"Uncle is a skilled martial artist, nothing will happen to him. Besides, I can't protect you and Cheng'er at the same time by myself. It's safer to have uncle by my side."
"But……"
"We are a family." Song Lin interrupted her gently, "This is my uncle's wish. He doesn't want to be separated from us."
Hearing this, Shen Xu didn't know what to say anymore. He just nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and pack my things. You go prepare the carriages and horses. We'll set off for the capital today."
"good."
Pei Zhiyuan asked, "What are you going to do with the Mirror Envoy who's imprisoned in the prison?"
