Chapter 048 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

Pei Rui: "I came to sleep with you."

Zhui Ming: "What did you say?"

System: [??? Be normal, I'm scared.]

Xue Chen: [What's wrong with you?]

The system feels that its host seems to be getting more and more abnormal, but it wasn't like this at the beginning...

Pei Rui slowly walked over and sat next to Zhui Ming: "I don't want to go back to Taiping Palace at night, I hope you can take me in."

Zhui Ming took a sip of wine: "There are many guest rooms in Shenhou Palace. I can help you find a better room to live in, or do you prefer a bigger yard?"

Pei Rui didn't say anything, but reached out and touched the table.

He originally wanted to touch the wine on the table, but something unexpected happened. He didn't touch the wine pot, but accidentally touched Zhui Ming's hand.

The young man was stunned for a moment and took his hand back: "Sorry."

Zhui Ming picked up a wine jar and placed it on the table. With a "dong" sound, he broke the mud seal and touched the back of Pei Rui's hand with the outer wall of the wine jar: "Want to drink?"

Pei Rui touched the jar and smelled it carefully.

Zhui Ming: "From your appearance, you probably don't drink often. This wine is very strong. Take a sip first to see if you can get used to it."

Pei Rui estimated the size of the jar and the width of the jar mouth, thinking about how to drink it.

He was blindfolded with a black cloth, calm and self-controlled, and his movements were cautious and slow. He was quite elegant and calm. At first glance, he looked well-educated.

Pei Rui took a sip carefully: "Do you drink often?"

Zhui Ming: "I will die without wine."

Pei Rui put the wine jar down and stopped touching it.

System: [It's rare to see you drink on your own initiative. Is there any special purpose for this action?]

Xue Chen: [You've become smarter, very good. I did this to interrupt his train of thought. Look at him now, he has completely forgotten about helping me find a room to live in. And I took the opportunity to express my weakness. I'll bring it up again later, and I'll be able to rely on Zhui Ming smoothly.]

System: [Why do you have to live with him?]

Xue Chen: [Because he doesn't want to see me.]

System: [???]

You're being persecuted by your brother at home, so you have to seize every opportunity to persecute others when you go out, right?

Pei Rui: "Fortunately, she didn't marry you."

Zhui Ming paused and couldn't drink the wine. He kept the same posture and said after a long time: "You are right..."

Pei Rui: "You have a deep relationship?"

"Did you see it?" Zhui Ming said sadly: "I fell in love with her the first time I saw her, but unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to meet her. I couldn't even say a complete sentence in front of her. Maybe Xiao Tou didn't even know my name."

But she must remember herself. Zhui Ming was

very inconspicuous at that time.

He had experienced too much suffering. When he was a teenager, he looked older than his peers. He also suffered internal injuries. He always vomited blood, his face was pale, and his body was thin and skinny. He was just a standard little laborer.

But Xiao Tou talked to him in his spare time when he was serving the second young master Lei.

She persuaded herself that after finishing the work at the Lei family, she should stop wasting her energy here, as the Lei family would not give her extra money. It would be better for her to work outside and save some money for the future.

But Zhui Ming stayed at the Lei family just to see her more.

Xiao Tou's concern was enough to show that she knew of her existence, and she would occasionally keep her eyes on him.

This is what secret love feels like, silently and quietly staying by her side. Xiao Tou does not need to respond to this relationship, but every move will affect his mind. Zhui

Ming has deep feelings for Xiao Tou.

The eleven-year-old boy was abandoned by his brothers and sisters and fell into the abyss of despair. It happened that at that time, he encountered a gentle spring breeze and suddenly no longer felt lonely.

Zhui Ming knew from the beginning that the wind could not be caught, but he still couldn't help chasing warmth.

But in the end, he found that Xiao Tou, whom he cherished so much and was willing to give everything to protect, was just a person who could satisfy his own selfish desires in the eyes of others. There are

always people who want to destroy the beautiful things in the world, as if that can prove their power and status.

After Xiao Tou's death, Zhui Ming cheered up.

He gradually became stronger and had the power to protect himself, but Xiao Tou would not come back.

Zhui Ming looked dazed: "I am lucky to get it, and I will die if I lose it..."

Pei Rui: "My condolences."

Zhui Ming took a big sip of wine: "Can I see your eyes?"

System: [It deserves that his first love is replaced by your face.]

Xue Chen: [Maybe there are really similarities.]

The boy took off the black cloth covering his eyes and slowly opened his eyes.

Normally, if you suddenly see the light, your eyes will feel uncomfortable and you will avoid it subconsciously. But Pei Rui did not make such a move. His eyes were sluggish and scattered. His gray pupils did not tremble or shrink because of exposure to the light. It was obvious that

he was different from ordinary people. Zhui Ming looked at him and kept drinking.

Pei Rui: "Do I look like her?" Zhui

Ming: "The first time I saw you, I thought of her. You seem to be alike in every way, but also different in every way. Obviously, your temperaments are completely different, but when I face you, I always think of her inadvertently. Xiao Mian... This name doesn't suit you at all."

"It doesn't suit you at all." Pei Rui nodded, "Is she still alive?"

Zhui Ming never talked about Xiao Tou's death, even though he had been thinking about it in his heart for a long time.

Hearing Pei Rui's words, Zhui Ming suddenly felt very sorry.

Xiao Tou must be eager to see his brother, and Xiao Mian has also been looking for her family...

Zhui Ming's voice was dry: "She's dead."

Pei Rui: "How did she die?"

Zhui Ming: "She hanged herself."

Pei Rui: "Why?"

Zhui Ming: "She saw no hope in the endless torture, and there was no end to her suffering. She had no way to escape, so she could only use this method to make herself feel better."

Pei Rui: "Who did it?"

Zhui Ming: "The son of the county magistrate of Weiluo Town, the second young master of the Lei family, Lei Dong. After I knew Xiao Tou's death, I avenged her and killed 37 people of the Lei family. The two young masters of the Lei family were dragged to the county government by me."

Pei Rui nodded: "The head of the Lei family, Liufenbantang, also has the surname Lei."

Zhui Ming: "Maybe they are distant relatives. Xiao Tou's matter ended that day, her revenge has been avenged, and it has nothing to do with Lei Sha. Don't act on impulse."

System: [Are you planning to provoke Liufenbantang? ]

Xue Chen: [How can it be called provoking? I have already had a grudge against Liufenbantang, okay? This incident can just be used as an excuse to distance my father from Cai Jing. 】

System: [Isn't he a neutral party? 】

Xue Chen: [The core of the neutral party is to keep things even. My father put Xiao Mian into the Shenbu Division and had contact with Zhuge Zhengwo. Cai Jing will definitely get the news and will soon test my father's intentions. My father will definitely follow the trend and get close to Cai Jing to continue to keep things even. 】

System: [Isn't this great? 】

Xue Chen: [If you keep keeping things even, you can live longer, but this country can't hold on. My father also contributed to the fact that the bank was destroyed so quickly. 】

Pei Rui didn't mention Liufenbantang again, but Zhui Ming could feel that he still cared about it.

After drinking almost all the wine, the sky gradually darkened.

Zhui Ming patted Pei Rui on the shoulder: "Come on, I'll take you to your residence."

Pei Rui raised his eyes and looked at him with lifeless gray eyes: "I want to live with you."

Zhui Ming rubbed his forehead in distress: "Why?"

Pei Rui: "I can't see."

Zhui Ming didn't expect this answer.

He thought Pei Rui's martial arts were very high, he could move freely and live alone, but he didn't expect that he felt insecure because of his blindness.

Pei Rui had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the Shenhou Mansion. The person he talked to the most should be himself.

For a blind man, verbal conversations are almost all social interactions. In comparison, no matter if it is his uncle or his senior and junior brothers, Pei Rui has a low sense of existence. He is the only one who is familiar with him.

Zhui Ming was helpless: "Okay, you will live in the old building from now on."

Pei Rui: "Okay."

Zhui Ming: "How old are you?"

Pei Rui: "Sixteen."

Zhui Ming: "You don't look like sixteen..."

Pei Rui is about the same height as Lu Xiaofeng, and has the shape of an adult. He has very thin muscles, and his black clothes make him look thin. He looks very thin, but he has a strong aura and sharp eyes, which makes people feel fearful and subconsciously ignore his age. There are

a lot of wines hidden in the old building, all of which belong to Zhui Ming.

Zhui Ming cleared out the room next to his own and arranged for Pei Rui to move in: "If you have anything, you can just call me. I'm next door. If you're not sleeping very soundly, you should be able to hear it."

Pei Rui nodded.

Zhui Ming: "Excuse me, why don't you want to go back to Prince Taiping's Mansion?"

Pei Rui: "It's a bit noisy there at night."

Zhui Ming: "So that's why..."

He thought Pei Rui was not living well with Prince Taiping. On the surface, he was Prince Taiping's savior and his beloved adopted son, but in fact, he was not living well in the palace.

So when Pei Rui first said that he didn't want to go back to the palace, Zhui Ming was afraid of getting involved in Prince Taiping's household affairs, so he tactfully didn't ask the reason.

After seeing the child's weak and helpless side, Zhui Ming felt that he couldn't ignore it, so he pretended to ask one more question inadvertently, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.

Zhui Ming heaved a sigh of relief: "No one has lived here for a long time. I'll have someone deliver the bedding and other things later. Are you going to live here today?"

Pei Rui nodded.

Zhui Ming: "That's going to have to be quick."

Zhui Ming was very quick and efficient. He didn't even ask others to help pass the message. He used Qinggong to fetch some daily necessities from somewhere else.

Pei Rui sat next to him, waiting for him to make the bed for him.

System: [Xiaomian's situation is really good.]

Xue Chen: [It was mainly because of my own efforts.]

System: [You should try to get Liu Yixuan.]

Liu Yixuan slept in the firewood pile all night and woke up with back pain. In the morning, the owner of the firewood came to get firewood. He was shocked when he saw him, beat him up on the spot, and drove him away.

Liu Yixuan was holding his wheat cake, eating while wandering, looking very pitiful.

Xue Chen: [It's almost there.]

It's not that he doesn't want to improve Ma Jia's living conditions. In fact, as long as he wants, he can always find a family willing to take him in, and it is not difficult to find a job to settle down.

But he is the one who wants to go undercover in the palace!

Wanyan Honglie is the wisest of the princes of the Jin Dynasty. He is ruthless and decisive. He will definitely not trust anyone casually.

The background of the maid bought into the palace will be investigated thoroughly.

Liu Yixuan does not need to worry about the specific identity, the speed room has already arranged it.

But his movements in the past few days will be found out and reported to Prince Zhao's palace.

The worse Liu Yixuan's life is now, the more people he contacts, and the lower Wanyan Honglie's vigilance will be.

What does it matter if you endure temporarily for the sake of convenience?

Pei Rui took a few sets of clothes from Prince Taiping's mansion and told Prince Taiping that he would temporarily live in the Shenhou Mansion and go back to see him on his day off.

Prince Taiping did not doubt him and readily agreed to let him move out.

After Gong Jiu learned about this, his mood obviously became not so good. He sat alone for a long time, came to Xue Chen and said goodbye to his brother.

Xue Chen was not surprised at all, but still cooperated and showed his reluctance: "Are you leaving again?"

Gong Jiu: "I have been here for many days, and I can't just ignore the things outside. After I finish dealing with the recent important matters, I will hand over those chores to Xie Heng, and come back to accompany my brother as soon as possible."

Xue Chen: [...headache.]

System: [It's okay, it's all the same. Even if he didn't say it before, didn't he do it this way?]

Xue Chen: [Let's blow up that broken island quickly. The alchemy furnace I made didn't use very good materials, how can the quality be so good? Even if I blow up the furnace, I can't blow up the outer shell!]

System: [I said that it will be limited by the worldview. The power of the gunpowder made is limited. At most, it is at the level of a thunder bomb. 】

Xue Chen:【But in the original book, they all used Gatling guns, so why do I have such a hard time even blowing up a furnace!】

System:【Maybe because they are indigenous people, even if they have such bug-level hot weapons, it will not affect the world view. You are a time traveler, maybe you will use those things to do something.】

Xue Chen:【Damn it! I have to find a chance to ask around, where can I buy Gatling guns, is that okay?】

System:【Okay, but who are you going to fight?】

【Fight Liufenbantang! Fight the Jin Kingdom!】Xue Chen paused,【Tong'er, do you think anyone will sell Gatling guns on the black market?】

System:【...I feel very suspenseful.】
