Chapter 104 Jin丨Exclusive publication of Jiang Wenxue

Beef Soup knew Gong Jiu's problem very well, and Xue Chen's eyes were enough to make her misunderstand.

She didn't mention those two words, and asked softly: "I'll get it?"

Xue Chen looked at her suddenly, took a deep breath, and seemed to be enduring something: "You go out."

"Brother Jiu, I can help you..."

"Go out!"

Beef Soup looked at him in disbelief. She just mentioned Mr. Xue, and Brother Jiu treated her like this!

What's so good about that sickly person?

Beef Soup said shyly: "Go out if you want to, anyway, I'm not the one who's uncomfortable!"

She ran out of the house, and before leaving, she didn't forget to help Brother Jiu close the door to prevent others from seeing his ugly appearance.

Xue Chen restrained his expression, sat calmly on the bedside, and looked at himself in the mirror: [Sometimes I am really worried about my brother. He is too young and energetic. When he gets older, he will easily wither.] He

will react to the word "whip", and will also react to similar associations. Moreover, he is unrestrained and has no rules at all. If he is not stimulated, he will not be beaten for a week, but after being stimulated, he will be beaten three times a day.

Lu Xiaofeng took advantage of this and took out the whip during the life-and-death battle and whipped him to death. It can be seen that Gong Jiuseling was confused and had lost control of himself.

The system comforted: [It's okay, it's just a circulatory universe.]

Xue Chen: [It can cure all diseases, right?]

Xue Chen sat alone in the room for a while.

Someone came over from outside and stopped at the door. A blurry outline could be seen through the light and shadow: "Master Jiu, Teng Chong's people are here. Do you want to go meet them?"

The self in the mirror was well-dressed, cold and sharp, and did not look like a self-mutilated person at all.

Fortunately, Gong Jiu's martial arts skills were very high, and every time he was beaten, he could recover at the fastest speed. However, even if he recovered, there would be slight differences compared to before the beating.

Xue Chen yawned, forced out a few tears, rubbed his eyes until his eye sockets were slightly red, picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes.

He stood up: [It's a pity that Xie Heng's medicinal materials haven't arrived yet, otherwise it can be done perfectly now. 】

Many herbs have a bloody smell, Xue Chen prepared to prepare some by himself to simulate the appearance of blood. In addition, Xie Heng's list of herbs also includes heather...

These herbs are still on the way and are estimated to be delivered tomorrow.

System: [I thought you would play to the end, let Beef Soup bring the whip and let her beat you. 】

Xue Chen opened the door. There was a thin middle-aged man at the door. He wore a black eye mask on his left eye and had a gloomy temperament. He didn't look like a good person.

Xue Chen's eyes were slightly red, cold and calm.

The people outside were a little afraid of him and immediately lowered their heads: "Master Jiu."

Xue Chen said arrogantly: "Who are they? Are they worthy of me to meet them in person? Just do it as usual, put the things into the warehouse, count them, and send them to Xie Heng."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

Xue Chen closed the door: [If I really get beaten, then I'll be exposed.]

System: [That's right, although you have a strong endurance, after all, you don't have the fetish of Gong Jiu, and you will definitely not have a physiological reaction when you are beaten...]

Xue Chen: [What weird things are you thinking about? I'm talking about exposing myself to my brother!]

System: [What can be exposed to your brother?]

Xue Chen: [My brother doesn't know yet, I already know that he has a masochistic fetish. After changing back to my identity, my brother will definitely inquire about what I have done. What he cares about most, besides my safety, is whether his masochistic fetish has been exposed. 】

Once he performs in front of others, there will be no room for excuses!

System: [Then why do you still deal with artificial blood and heather? 】

Xue Chen: [As an elder brother, isn’t it natural for you to know something about your younger brother? 】

The system has nothing to say.

Someone outside carried a few boxes over, and Xue Chen asked them to put the things in a corner of the bedroom. After those people left, Xue Chen opened the box, took out his daily clothes and put them in the closet, and put the whip and sword on the weapon rack at the head of the bed.

System: [Where is Tengchong? 】

Xue Chen: [Tengchong Prefecture of Dali Kingdom, almost to Myanmar. 】

System:【Your brother's influence is really wide...】

Xue Chen:【I guess he just does business with the people over there. The nameless island in the original book has many exchanges with Japan. Wu Ming also invited Lu Xiaofeng to eat fresh caviar...Ah, caviar, I want to eat caviar too. I haven't eaten it for a long time.】

System:【...】

Xue Chen stopped moving, stared at the box for a few seconds, stood up resolutely, and walked outside.

System:【Where are you going?】

Xue Chen:【Go find the old man to eat caviar.】

System:【...】

The old man is a person who knows how to enjoy life.

Although the nameless island is remote, it has beautiful scenery and everything you need for eating, drinking and having fun. There are delicious food and fine wine on this island, and you can gamble as much as you want. Whatever you want, you can find it here.

Gong Jiu is half the owner of the Nameless Island, but his desires, except for being beaten, are all very weak.

He doesn't gamble, doesn't drink, has no concept of money, and doesn't have a strong appetite.

His hobbies, apart from being beaten, seem to be only daydreaming.

On the way there, Xue Chen had been thinking about what excuse he should use to ask the old man for caviar. In the end, he pretended to be lost, walked around the island for half a circle, and appeared in front of the old man.

It was already evening, and the old man didn't water the flowers anymore, but played chess alone in the house according to the chess book.

His house was spacious and beautiful, and seemed to be built with precious wood. It was exquisite and gorgeous, with strict seams, and you could smell a very elegant wood fragrance.

When Xue Chen approached, Wu Ming raised his head: "Why are you here?"

Xue Chen pushed the door open and sat opposite him, looking down at the chessboard in front of him.

The old man said: "It would be great if you were also talented in chess, so that you could play a few games in your spare time, and I wouldn't be so bored that I would have to play chess with my ancestors with the chess manual."

Gong Jiu can't count, so of course he can't learn chess well.

The old man picked up a white piece and put it on the chessboard: "Playing chess is the same as laying out the layout. The first piece is always in an inconspicuous corner, building up its own power, slowly advancing to the center, and eating up the enemy bit by bit."

Xue Chen: "There is only one enemy on the chessboard, but there are many in reality."

The old man: "That's right. So people with superb chess skills may not live well."

Xue Chen: "How many enemies do you have?"

The old man asked in surprise: "You ask me?"

Xue Chen nodded.

Wu Ming said: "Only a few of you know me in this world. As long as you don't turn against me, I won't have any enemies."

Xue Chen: "People in Japan don't know you either?"

Wu Ming smiled and said: "You are very thoughtful. People there do know me. But so far, I have not had any conflict with them, so they are not enemies. And they are too weak. Even if they are really bad for me, I can solve it quickly."

Xue Chen: [In the original book, the old man talked to Lu Xiaofeng about Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Now it seems that this person does not exist.]

System: [After all, this is not the Ming Dynasty. Wu Ming

dropped another black piece, removed three white pieces, and put them back into the chess pot: "Why do you suddenly think of asking this?"

Xue Chen: "I just think that I have too many enemies."

Wu Ming: "Your status is noble and too conspicuous. Your father is in charge of the army of the world, and too many people are jealous of the military power in his hands. Outsiders don't know the inside story between you and your son, and they will definitely regard you as his man, which is reasonable."

Xue Chen said nothing more.

Wu Ming glanced at the book, picked up another white piece, and placed it on the chessboard: "I have said it before, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. As long as you are willing to conspire with others, it will become very simple to bring down the King of Taiping."

Xue Chen did not expect that the old man would actually instigate his brother to unite with Cai Jing and others.

Xue Chen: [My brother is still pretty good. 】

System: [I don't quite understand...]

It was not difficult for Xue Chen to figure out Gong Jiu's thoughts. He immediately replied: "I don't want to drag the entire Taiping Palace into the water."

Wu Ming smiled and said kindly: "Sometimes, I really want to go and kill your brother myself."

Xue Chen clenched his right fist and quickly released it. It seemed that his mood was greatly affected, but he quickly adjusted himself and remained calm: "If something happens to my brother, I can't guarantee what I will do."

Wu Ming: "I know, so I didn't do it."

Xue Chen was silent.

Wu Ming placed another black piece, this time swallowing up a large number of white pieces, and the situation was clear. Wu

Ming sighed, "Our ancestors were no better than that."

Xue Chen: "You no longer have any rivals in chess, why don't you switch to something else and start over?" Wu Ming

: "For example?"

Xue Chen: "For example, writing poems, composing articles, and taking imperial examinations." Wu Ming

: "Are you kidding?"

Xue Chen said seriously, "There is no age limit for the imperial examinations. Many people who are older than you are still taking the exams. Besides, there is no best in writing. I think no matter how good an article you can write, there will always be people who won't accept it. On this path, no matter how talented you are, it's very difficult to reach the top."

Wu Ming laughed. He laughed very happily, with obvious smile lines on his face: "You're right. It's just that I don't want to be famous, and I don't want to be seen by others."

If a person wants to be famous, it's actually very easy. As long as he does something the best, fame will naturally follow.

It is difficult for someone like Wu Ming to be so proficient in all kinds of subjects and to have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, but to keep a low profile and not leave his name behind.

Because he also has to make a living, he needs to spend money on daily expenses, and he has to support so many people.

Wu Ming said, "Hiding myself is also my pleasure."

Xue Chen nodded, "I know."

Isn't the Prince of Taiping the "hidden person" cultivated by Wu Ming?

Wu Ming put down his book and picked up the white piece again, as if he wanted to turn defeat into victory.

He said lightly, "I don't know why you came here."

Xue Chen: "I got lost."

Wu Ming was speechless, looked up at him, and hesitated to say, "You... Alas, you kid."

Xue Chen stood up, "It's getting dark, I'll go turn on the light."

The light in the room became brighter.

Wu Ming: "Have you eaten?"

Xue Chen shook his head.

Wu Ming: "In that case, then stay and eat together."

Xue Chen nodded.

About a cup of tea later, Wu Ming put down the chess pieces and took Xue Chen to another room for dinner.

The food should have just been delivered and was still steaming, but there was no one nearby. It seemed that the servants on the island knew Wu Ming's habits very well and knew when to deliver the food. They had already formed a tacit understanding with him.

Xue Chen glanced around and didn't see the caviar: [Wrong decision.]

Wu Ming: "Sit anywhere."

Xue Chen sat opposite Wu Ming.

System: [What's wrong?]

Xue Chen: [The old man usually uses caviar to go with wine. Drinking and eating are two completely different things. My brother doesn't like to drink. The old man can't treat me to a drink, so he can't treat me to caviar. 】

System: [……] How persistent are you?

Xue Chen: [I don’t know when the old man bought the caviar. Can I ask him to buy it for me?]

System: [……]

Xue Chen: [Come to think of it, if Lu Xiaofeng hadn’t encountered the ocean current, she would have been able to go to Japan smoothly.]

System: [Huh?]

Xue Chen: [Rubbish system, go read the original work! Lu Xiaofeng was blown to an unknown island when she went to Japan!]

System: [Why do you say it as if Lu Xiaofeng went there to be a gigolo…]

Xue Chen: [It's almost time.]

System: [...]

Wu Ming saw that he was so silent, and asked in confusion: "Are you worried about something?"

Xue Chen shook his head. Wu

Ming picked up some dishes for him: "Even if you don't say it, I know that you are worried about your brother. He is very ill, but you want to kill his father. This is a great stimulation for him."

Xue Chen: "What do you think?"

Wu Ming: "My suggestion is to cut the Gordian knot. The longer this kind of thing is delayed, the more unpredictable the consequences will be."

Xue Chen: [He really doesn't teach my brother anything good. My brother has been corrupted by him.]

System: [Is there any way to kill him?]

Xue Chen: [Not yet.]

System: [Can't Big Mian and Little Mian join forces? Xue Chen: [

The sea is not the home turf of vests, and I haven’t figured out the details of the nameless island. The forces on the island are spread all over the country, even Dali has their people, not to mention the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia. If he escapes, I’m afraid I won’t dare to close my eyes when I sleep.]

After dinner, Wu Ming personally sent him back.

Xue Chen could feel that Wu Ming was secretly observing him, and he knew that he should have discovered the slight difference between him and Gong Jiu,

but those differences were too small, and there were no flaws in Xue Chen’s words and deeds. Even a shrewd person like Wu Ming was not sure, and probably thought that the "eldest son" was seriously ill and "Gong Jiu" was in a bad mood.

When he returned to his brother's residence, Wu Ming saw the mirror inside at first sight.

He sincerely suggested: "The bedroom is a place to calm the mind and gather energy. It is not appropriate to put the mirror at the head of the bed. Why not change the place?"

Xue Chen: "Isn't it good to be able to see yourself with your eyes open?"

System: [So perverted. ] Wu Ming

: "Do you care about him so much?"

Xue Chen: "He is my brother." Wu Ming

: "But you already have me and a sister now."

Xue Chen: [So he did it on purpose! In order to provoke the relationship between me and my brother, I gave him a new family! ]

System: [Your brother came to the nameless island when he was very young, right? So he is really determined. No wonder he is always worried about you. It turns out that someone is forcing him to give up you. ]

Xue Chen: [Kill him! Xiao Mian will take a leave tomorrow and go to sea with Da Mian! 】

System:【Didn’t you say that the sea is not your home turf...】

Xue Chen:【Woo woo, I’m just talking nonsense, I’m not really going to take action tomorrow.】

System:【You know to ask for leave even if you want to talk nonsense, you really have a strong sense of responsibility.】

Wu Ming knew how to behave with him, and seeing that he didn’t take it seriously, he said nothing more, just said hello to him and left.

After Wu Ming left, Xue Chen replaced all the bedding on the bed with new ones, including the pillowcases.

Xie Heng was refining pills in the alchemy room and continued to study the blasting furnace. In order to make it easier to escape, he didn’t close the door.

He stared at the stove intently, occasionally adding firewood to it, and his eyes became sore.

Suddenly someone said, "This step is wrong."

Xie Heng didn't notice anyone coming over at all. He was startled and his hands shook, and he almost dropped all the wood in.

He turned to look to the side and found that the person who came was Wu Ming. He pretended not to know him: "Who are you and why did you break into my alchemy room without permission? Didn't anyone stop you?"

Wu Ming smiled and said, "I am the master here and no one dares to stop me."

Xie Heng frowned: "I have never heard of you."

Wu Ming: "But I know you. From the first moment you entered the island, I knew you were coming."

Xie Heng: "Gong Jiu promised me that as long as I do my job well, I can do whatever I want. I just want to refine the elixir in peace. Please go out."

Wu Ming was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a very subtle sound. He didn't react for a while and asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

Xue Chen: [My stove is going to explode. 】

System:【Why don't you run! 】

Xue Chen:【Scrap the vest, you can't run away. 】

Xie Heng was unaware and pushed the wheelchair forward, intending to chase him away: "What's going on? Please get out."

Suddenly, a huge explosion was heard behind Xie Heng, and a flash of fire was extinguished by the thick smoke.

Xie Heng felt the vibration behind him, and he lost consciousness for a moment. After opening his eyes, he found that Wu Ming was dragging him out.

Hu Sheng walked over quickly: "Island Master! Young Master! Are you all right?"

Wu Ming let go of his hand and put Xie Heng on the ground.

Although Xie Heng has reached the highest level of "Inner Alchemy", he has no internal strength and does not understand martial arts such as "Turtle Breathing Kung Fu". He took a few puffs of thick cigarettes, and felt a foreign body in his throat. He covered his chest and coughed violently.

Mr. Hu came over to support Xie Heng and patted him on the back.

Wu Ming said, "I told you that you made a mistake in that step."

Xie Heng coughed and said sharply, "None of your business!"

Wu Ming was a little frustrated.

I don't know what happened today. First, I was treated coldly by Gong Jiu, and then I was talked back by this young guy.

Obviously, he is knowledgeable and his tone when giving instructions is very gentle, without any condescension. Why is Xie Heng not grateful, but extremely hateful?

Hu Sheng was afraid that Xie Heng would offend Wu Ming, so he explained for him: "Young Master... his purpose of refining the elixir is different from that of others."

Wu Ming: "I'd like to hear the details."

Xie Heng leaned on Hu Sheng's arm, holding his arm tightly, and warned: "Mr. Hu!"

Hu Sheng apologized: "Young Master, please forgive me. I am from the Nameless Island, and I put the island master first. Young Master refined the elixir to heal his legs."

Xue Chen: [Why do I feel like Xie Heng deliberately created a crisis, and at the moment of life and death, he could create a medical miracle and run away?]

System: [Your brain circuit is too crooked!]

Xue Chen: [What's crooked.]

System: [If you use the original form to speak directly, it will ruin the character, and it will be crooked.]

Xue Chen: [What you said makes a lot of sense...]

Wu Ming squatted down and pinched Xie Heng's calf: "It seems that you have been suffering from atrophy for some time."

System: [Atrophy?]

Xue Chen: [It's not the atrophy I worry about my brother! It's the name for paralysis in traditional Chinese medicine!]

System: [So that's how it is.]

Xie Heng wanted to break away from him, but he only moved weakly and had no power to get rid of his control.

Xie Heng: "Don't touch me."

Wu Ming pinched him hard and said to Hu Sheng: "Take him to rest first. The alchemy room is so dirty that it can't be used for the time being. Find someone to clean it up."

Hu Sheng: "Yes."

Hu Sheng picked up Xie Heng and took him back to the bedroom.

The thick smoke made Xie Heng's clothes very dirty. His body was covered with dust, and his face and hands were also stained with dust.

Mr. Hu put him on a stool and brought clean water to wipe him.

Xie Heng stared at him without saying a word.

Mr. Hu: "The old man just now is the owner of the Wuming Island. Even the Ninth Young Master is very respectful in front of him. It's best not to offend him."

Xue Chen: [Why didn't you blow Wu Ming to death?]

System: [Wouldn't Xie Heng be blown to death as well?]

Xue Chen: [If sacrificing a vest can kill Wu Ming, that's also appropriate. At most, the main body will be weak for a while, and the vest can be drawn again. It's a pity that my furnace-blasting skill has not made any progress. The best effect is just to blow up the pill furnace. 】

System:【You should change your path, draw a vest, and upgrade your martial arts to the highest level, and you can beat whoever you want.】

Xue Chen:【How can the combat capability of a single person be comparable to that of countless soldiers? I also want to hand over the formula to my father after the furnace is successfully blown up, so that he can use it to arm the soldiers. How can I just give up?】

Hu Sheng was uneasy: "Sir, I know I was wrong, please punish me."

Xie Heng retracted his empty eyes: "What did you do wrong?"

Hu Sheng has always been considerate, showing full respect in front of him and silently maintaining his dignity.

But today, not only did he not protect Xie Heng, but he took the initiative to tear open his scars, making Xie Heng feel his own powerlessness again.

Mr. Hu said, "I betrayed you."

Xie Heng glanced at him and said, "You rarely call me 'you'."

Mr. Hu: "Yes."

Xie Heng: "I know that when you first followed me, you looked down on me in your heart."

Mr. Hu: "I dare not."

Xie Heng: "In the final analysis, it is because I am too useless, and I am not as good as you martial artists."

Mr. Hu: "Young Master..."

Xie Heng: "If you want to leave, then go ahead. I will tell Gong Jiu to let you work outside."

System: [Are you really angry?]

Xue Chen: [No, I just have to show my attitude, otherwise anyone can be arrogant in front of Xie Heng in the future.]

System: [Are you not angry with Wu Ming?]

Xue Chen: [Can't you see? Wu Ming is here to pull Xie Heng.]

System: [Ah? 】

Xue Chen:【He probably thinks that his knowledge of astronomy and meteorology is particularly impressive, and wants to use this method to get close to me, but I won't go along with his wishes and let him have another headache. Do you believe it or not, he will come to apologize to me tomorrow, but in the process of apologizing, he has to show off himself?】

System:【I believe everything you say!】

Xie Heng's wheelchair was once again left in the thick smoke of the alchemy room. He sat on the stool, and could hardly move.

Hu Sheng wiped the dust off his face, spread his hair, and wiped it carefully with a wet towel: "It's late tonight, and the wind is strong on the sea. Sir, please bear with it for one night and take a bath tomorrow."

Xie Heng said nothing.

Mr. Hu: "Young Master also said that I did look down on you at the beginning, but after spending some time together, I already know what kind of person you are. I used to be of humble status and often dealt with all kinds of people, and I have met many difficult characters. Compared to working on an outlying island, it is quieter here with you."

Xie Heng still did not speak.

Mr. Hu: "The batch of herbs that the young master wants should be here soon. Your wheelchair still needs to be cleaned and polished, so take a good rest these few days. If you have anything to do, just tell me to do it."

Xie Heng said coldly: "I don't want to see that person again. If he comes again, stop him and don't let him in."

Mr. Hu was embarrassed: "This... I'm afraid I can't stop him."

Xie Heng said softly: "How do you know if you don't try?"
