Chapter 105 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue (10,000 nutrient solution plus update)
During the days of playing Gong Jiu, Xue Chen strictly followed his schedule, going to bed late and getting up early every day, and secretly taking a nap at noon.
Today he got up very early, washed up and went to the front to eat.
A large bowl of beef soup was made, which was full of the best parts of the cow, and it was already stewed very soft. She brought the soup to the table and served a bowl to Xue Chen.
"Brother Jiu, please try it. I started making this soup last night. It has been cooked all night and is now soft and tasty. It is even better than last time."
Xue Chen nodded and took the hot meat soup: "Your cooking skills have always been good. The food you make never tastes bad."
Beef Soup was very happy to be praised by him. He looked at him expectantly. After seeing the subtle expression on Xue Chen's face after tasting it, he felt that his cooking skills were recognized by him.
Xue Chen could feel that Beef Soup's action was an apology.
She said some inappropriate words yesterday and was kicked out when she was "sick". She probably thought that Brother Jiu was angry with her, so he refused to accept her help.
Xue Chen accepted it calmly, and his attitude towards her became a little softer.
Before she finished a bowl of soup, Gong Jiu's personal attendant came in from outside: "Master Jiu, the second batch of goods has arrived."
Xue Chen: "You will arrange it."
The personal attendant left.
Xue Chen continued to eat with Beef Soup.
According to the old man, on Beef Soup's third birthday, he wanted a birthday present, which was to cook for himself. She cooked a large table full of dishes, and her cooking career began from then on. It has been nearly twenty years now.
There is nothing lacking on the Nameless Island. She has enough resources to learn how to cook. Her cooking skills have been honed very well, and compared with Xiao Liu, she is only on par.
Xue Chen was very satisfied with the meal. The only bad thing was that he had to imitate Gong Jiu and put on an expressionless look. Even if he ate something he liked, he couldn't have too many emotional fluctuations.
After dinner, the servants brought in a basin of water. Xue Chen washed his hands, took the cup to rinse his mouth, and wiped his mouth with a clean towel.
Xue Chen: [My brother copied the set of the palace.]
System: [Is it possible that he thinks you do this in the palace, so he does it too. Although you are in different places, you are doing the same thing. Your hearts are still together.]
Xue Chen: [Are we sharing the beauty of the moon even though we are thousands of miles apart? This is a good concept. When Su Shi wrote this poem, he was also thinking about his younger brother. It should be similar to the feeling I had when I bought cakes for Lian'er before I left. 】
System: [You are not stubborn anymore? 】
Xue Chen: [When did I become stubborn? 】
System: [……] Still stubborn.
Xue Chen had just put down his handkerchief when someone else came in.
"Master Jiu."
Xue Chen: "Just say it, my sister is not an outsider."
Beef Soup looked at Xue Chen happily and did not disturb him.
"Someone from the Jin Kingdom sent news that the Third Prince of Jin was assassinated and seriously injured. He was in a coma for several days before waking up. He impeached the Sixth Prince and said that it was Prince Zhao who ordered this. The Emperor of Jin has confined the Sixth Prince and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter."
Xue Chen: [My brother actually planted spies in the Jin Kingdom. His business scope is really wide.]
System: [Could it be Lao Yan?]
Xue Chen thought it had used its brain to deduce something, and humbly asked: [How did you know that?]
System: [I only know Lao Yan, and I don't know anyone else.]
Xue Chen: [...very rigorous reasoning. 】
System: [……]
Xue Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Is that all?"
Spy: "Master Jiu, please forgive me. This is all I have found out for now."
Xue Chen nodded: "Go away."
He could basically determine that the spy was not from Prince Zhao's mansion, otherwise he would have mentioned that Liu Yixuan and Yun Heyan were missing.
The reason why he was not completely sure was because there was still the possibility of a double-sided spy. For example, the other party was working for Xingguo, and was bribed by Wuming Island to pass on messages. Every time the news was transmitted to Xingguo, it would be different from the news transmitted to Wuming Island.
Beef Soup said: "Brother Jiu, will you stay on the island for the next few days?"
Xue Chen saw her eyes and suddenly realized something: [Tong'er, when I got off the boat, how many women were there among those who came out to greet me? 】
System: [There are so many, I can't count them all. Why do you suddenly ask this? 】
Xue Chen wanted to hold his head and cry: [I forgot about Shaman. 】
System: [No wonder Beef Soup is so happy. 】
The system did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all. Xue Chen was thinking hard and did not have the time to explain it.
He quickly thought about the relationship between Gong Jiu and Shaman.
After having twin brothers, Gong Jiu still rescued Shaman from the brothel and brought her back to the Nameless Island.
His feelings for Shaman are very complicated. They have not turned into love because of the lack of family affection, but Shaman is undoubtedly very important...
Xue Chen said lightly: "Stay for two more days at most."
Beef Soup: "Are you still going to assassinate King Taiping?"
Xue Chen: "The last assassination failed, he must have been alert, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to succeed. Let's put this matter aside for now, I have more important things to do."
Beef Soup: "What is it? Brother Jiu, can you take me with you? You haven't taken me out to play for a long time."
Xue Chen pretended to be Gong Jiu in order to find out the details of the Nameless Island.
Now that he has met Wu Ming, he has roughly figured out the layout of the Nameless Island. There are only thirty or forty people on this island, all of whom are staying here temporarily. I think the others are scattered all over the place and will only come back occasionally.
Xue Chen wanted to find out the outside forces, so he would make up a pretext and walk around to find out where the old man was.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and a cautious person like Wu Ming would never have only this island.
Xue Chen: "I have to deal with matters at the court and see if there are a few people I can use. It's really inconvenient to take you with me, so let's do it next time."
Beef Soup: "Next time again, how many next times has this been!"
Xue Chen was about to leave when someone else came.
This time, it was not the people who delivered the message, but a very beautiful woman.
She was wearing a white gauze dress, tall, taller than some men, dressed simply and freshly, with no makeup on her face, cold as ice, without a smile, but when she looked at Xue Chen, there was an indescribable ambiguity.
Xue Chen recognized her at a glance.
Her face was exactly the same as the mother in his memory!
Shaman said calmly: "If you don't have me in your heart anymore, you can just say it clearly. I won't stay here."
She stayed on the island for unknown reasons and was treated well by Gong Jiu, but Gong Jiu never explained the reason. Other people on the island, even Shaman himself, would think that she was Gong Jiu's lover.
What's more, Gong Jiu was always sick and begged others to beat him.
Beef Soup hated Shaman's arrogant attitude: "Then go, no one is stopping you!"
Xue Chen asked coldly: "Do you want to leave?"
Shaman didn't seem to expect him to be so ruthless. She looked at him aggrievedly: "Where can I go?"
She was sold to a brothel by her own brother. If Gong Jiu hadn't saved her, she would have had a hard time surviving.
She has nothing left and the only person she can rely on is Gong Jiu. If even Gong Jiu no longer cares for her, it will be difficult for her to survive on this island.
Shaman didn't have much affection for Gong Jiu. After seeing his other side, she felt even more disgusted. In order to survive, she had to bow her head and submit.
At least Gong Jiu wouldn't beat her or do those disgusting things to her.
Xue Chen stood up, walked to Shaman's side, and held her hand.
Shaman followed him obediently.
Niu Rou Tang was very angry and helpless, and watched the two leave angrily.
Shaman had anticipated what was going to happen next. She was ready. She picked up the whip and beat the man in front of her hard.
Unexpectedly, Gong Jiu didn't take her back to the house, but walked farther and farther, and came to the coast.
She looked at Gong Jiu in confusion: "Is this a new way to play?"
Xue Chen's profile was stern. He did not look at Shaman, but just stared at the sea in front of him and explained perfunctorily: "I got lost."
Shaman knew that he was stupid sometimes, and smiled slightly: "You get lost in your own territory?"
Xue Chen: "I don't remember the way anywhere."
Shaman said softly: "You are such a strange person."
Xue Chen found a place to sit down, maintaining his character, staring at the sea in a daze.
Shaman stood for a while, felt a little bored, and sat next to him.
The two sat quietly like this.
An hour later, Xue Chen said indifferently: "Would you like to go outside with me?"
Shaman: "Where to?"
Xue Chen: "I don't know."
"As long as you don't sell me, everything will be fine." The sea breeze blew up Shaman's long hair, and her soft robe fluttered in the wind. She whispered: "But even if you sell me, I can't do anything."
Xue Chen: "I won't sell you."
Shaman: "That's right, I'm not the same person I used to be. At least now, after being taught by you, my martial arts and swordsmanship are pretty good."
System: [She is so pitiful, nowhere is her home. Do you want to take her back to the palace? ]
Xue Chen: [Why take her back to the palace? To be a mother to two children? Do you think Shaman is willing? 】
System: [……]
That's right, its host is not a normal person either. It's even more pitiful to face two perverts at the same time.
