Chapter 112 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue

After capturing Gong Jiu's subordinates on the nameless island, Pei Rui kept giving them knockout drugs on the way back to avoid complications. All the drugs Zhui Ming gave him were used here, and he didn't have any more. He couldn't give any drugs to Zhui Ming at all, so he had to use his brother.

Since he knew that Pei Rui's brain was not working well, Zhui Ming was very concerned about his every move.

Hearing the unexpected answer, Zhui Ming couldn't help asking him: "Why?"

Pei Rui shook his head.

He wanted to take this opportunity to restrict Gong Jiu and prevent him from continuing to do evil, but selfishly he didn't want to expose the bad things he did to others.

Once exposed, even if Gong Jiu's actions would not cost him his life, with his pride, he might not be able to get over it.

Xue Chen just wanted his brother to stop, not to let him die.

Zhui Ming changed his words: "Don't you have a good relationship with him?"

Pei Rui: "My second brother doesn't like me."

Zhui Ming was worried about Pei Rui's situation in the Taiping Palace.

The Taiping King was thoughtful and seemed to be very good to him. Zhui Ming couldn't tell whether he was sincere or not. The

eldest son Xue Chen was sick and weak, and his mind was a little crooked. He was not as gentle and beautiful as he appeared.

The prince showed obvious malice again, even Xiao Mian could see it. He didn't like her, and he must have shown his malice without any disguise.

Xiao Mian had such a hard time in the Prince Taiping's Mansion. Did the Prince Taiping know?

With Xiao Mian's personality, working in the army was also a way out. Why didn't the Prince Taiping keep him under his command, but sent him to the Shenhou Mansion?

Zhui Ming, like his other fellow apprentices, initially thought that the Prince Taiping wanted to place people in the Shenhou Mansion in an attempt to control the movements of the Shenhou Mansion.

But after getting familiar with Xiao Mian's true personality, he no longer had such an idea.

Xiao Mian seemed to be very sensitive to other people's emotions. She often comforted him when he was down. Now he should have noticed his mood and awkwardly comforted him: "He can't beat me."

Zhui Ming's voice slightly raised: "Have you ever fought?"

Pei Rui was at a loss, as if he didn't understand why his comfort not only had no effect, but made Zhui Ming's reaction even greater.

Zhui Ming saw that Pei Rui seemed to be frightened by him, so he took a deep breath and asked, "Why fight?"

Pei Rui accused, "He said I took my eldest brother away!"

Zhui Ming's head was full of conspiracy, but it all disappeared because of this sentence: "...they have a good relationship as brothers."

Pei Rui: "What about me?"

Zhui Ming: "You are also very good."

The young man was easily satisfied, and he was coaxed by a simple sentence.

Zhui Ming: "The prince doesn't like you because of this, he challenged you to a fight, but he couldn't beat you?"

Pei Rui nodded: "I gave him a knockout drug, and my eldest brother doesn't like him anymore."

System: [You omitted a lot, can Zhui Ming really understand? ]

Xue Chen: [That's his business, it has nothing to do with me! 】

System: [……]

The cause and effect relationship in Pei Rui's words was very strange. Zhui Ming thought about it for a while. Could it be that the prince took a knockout drug and slept for too long, missing something, so he was disliked by the eldest son?

The more Zhui Ming thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

He and Pei Rui returned to the room, and Zhui Ming suggested to Pei Rui: "Let's stay in the old building during our rest days in the future."

Pei Rui: "Why?"

Zhui Ming: "Aren't you easily woken up? It's very quiet in the old building, and you can sleep well there without worrying about being disturbed."

In fact, he didn't want Xiao Mian to have too much contact with the people in the Taiping Palace. In this situation, it's a small matter for Xiao Mian to be bullied. He was afraid that the Taiping King would use him to do something unfavorable to the Shenhou Mansion, and finally abandon Xiao Mian and put all the blame on him.

Pei Rui shook his head.

Zhui Ming: "Why? Don't you want to have a good rest?"

Pei Rui: "I want to accompany my elder brother. "

Zhui Ming: "There are people taking care of Master Xue. If you want to accompany him, just go there occasionally. You don't have to stay with him all your free time."

Pei Rui: "My second brother wants it."

Zhui Ming: "Did the prince ask you to take care of Master Xue?"

Pei Rui shook his head: "He asked me to stay away from my elder brother."

Zhui Ming was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You took the initiative to get close to Master Xue just to make the prince angry?"

Pei Rui nodded.

Zhui Ming laughed: "Xiao Mian, Xiao Mian, why do I realize now that you have a lot of little thoughts?"

-The

boat that the original body was riding on landed, took Shaman with him, turned to land, and took a carriage to Lizhou.

Stopping to rest in the town, Xue Chen didn't have to do anything, and he didn't even need to speak. Everything was arranged in advance. The servants bought the house to live in and booked the best restaurant in advance, and asked him whether he wanted to eat here or go to the restaurant in person.

Xue Chen of course chose the hot dishes that had just come out of the pot.

He looked cold and unmoved, as if there was no difference between the two choices for him. He said indifferently: "In the future, you don't have to ask me about such trivial matters. Let Shaman decide."

Shaman didn't have any power to choose before. No matter what happened, she had to obey Gong Jiu's arrangements.

Her clothes were brought back by Gong Jiu from outside, her martial arts were taught by Gong Jiu, and the wine she drank on weekdays was also Gong Jiu's. Even the money used for gambling was taken from Gong Jiu.

She seemed to be having a good time on the Nameless Island, but in fact, everything was under the surveillance of Gong Jiu. Only with Gong Jiu's permission could she gamble and drink. Without Gong Jiu's permission, she could not do anything.

Xue Chen handed the power of choice to Shaman, who was still a little unbelievable.

Of course, she wanted to go out, meet more people, and see the customs and practices outside the Nameless Island, instead of staying in this small place.

"I want to go out to eat." After expressing herself, she subconsciously looked at Xue Chen: "Can I?"

Xue Chen nodded: "Then let's go outside."

Shaman bowed: "Wait for me for a moment, I'm going to change clothes."

Xue Chen: "Okay."

In order to maintain his brother's character, Xue Chen secretly used Qinggong along the way to avoid some obvious dust. He was exhausted, but his boots were still as clean as new and his white clothes were spotless.

And with this hairstyle, Xue Chen was afraid that his hair would be messy. Even if he was sitting down to rest, he had to straighten his back for fear of getting it touched.

His brother is really too self-disciplined. After so many days of acting, Xue Chen feels that his internal strength is deeper than before.

Now Shaman has gone to change clothes, and the servants have also withdrawn. Xue Chen still maintains an upright posture, sitting on a chair and chatting with the system.

System: [The scenery over there in the cotton field, why does it seem a bit like what the original body saw when it entered the city? 】

Xue Chen:【It's the same town.】

System:【Will you meet each other?】

Lu Xiaofeng's brain seems to be loaded with food maps of various places. Every time he goes to a place, he can accurately find the delicious food there.

At this time, he was preparing to take Yun Heyan to have lunch. After entering the city, he went straight to the south and now passed through three streets.

Xue Chen:【If we go to a roadside stall to eat, we will definitely not meet. But I think the possibility of meeting is still very high. After all, my brother's subordinates should not dare to choose a place that is too unpalatable for him. If it is really delicious, Lu Xiaofeng is very likely to come.】

System:【Then do you want to say hello to him?】

Xue Chen:【Forget it.】

Now is not the time to contact Lu Xiaofeng.

In other words, before he solved Gong Jiu's problem, Gong Jiu had better never contact Lu Xiaofeng.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is not something he can decide. He can only do his best and delay it for a day.

Shaman changed into a light white dress and tied her hair with a headband of the same color. She was tall and had a good figure. She was eye-catching enough without makeup.

She nodded coldly at Xue Chen. Xue Chen got up, left the residence with Shaman, and got on the carriage to the restaurant.

"We're here!" Lu Xiaofeng introduced to her friend with great enthusiasm: "The Boxiagong at Yuncuixuan is first-rate, and paired with a pot of warm Zhuyeqing... It's a pity that you don't like to drink. What's more regrettable is that it's only early winter now. If it's the coldest days of winter, with heavy snow, eating hot pot will be even more delicious."

Boxiagong is rabbit meat hot pot. Although there is no chili now, other seasonings are still relatively complete.

Xue Chen has never eaten hot pot since he came here, and he is looking forward to the taste of hot pot.

Lu Xiaofeng is very talkative and is very familiar with everyone in the restaurant. As soon as he came in, someone came over to greet him: "Mr. Lu, you haven't been here for a long time! Did you bring friends here? Is it just you two? Do you want to go to the private room upstairs, or have dinner downstairs?"

"Just in the lobby."

The waiter took them to a seat with a better view.

Lu Xiaofeng casually named a few dishes and took out a large banknote: "No need for change."

The waiter quickly put the banknote away, smiling more sincerely.

System: [Now I understand why Lu Xiaofeng has so many friends. He doesn't care about money at all.]

Xue Chen: [Ji Shiyu Lu Xiaofeng, right? 】

System: [……]

Xue Chen: [Actually, it’s not just about money. Lu Xiaofeng has a lot of positive energy. He can tolerate some negative emotions, and he has strong empathy and can understand other people’s difficulties. The money he spends on his friends is secondary, and the emotional value is the most valuable. 】

System: [This can’t be a reason for you to hurt him! 】

Xue Chen: [How did I hurt him? I obviously hurt Zhui Ming. 】

System: [……]

The hot pot ordered by Lu Xiaofeng was quickly served. In addition, he also ordered two signature dishes and two pots of Bamboo Leaf Green.

The hot pot is a high pot with a hollow bottom and filled with high-quality charcoal. There is no ash at all.

Lu Xiaofeng threw a plate of meat into the pot and saw Yun Heyan staring at the pot with a cold expression and a hint of curiosity. She thought he had never eaten this before and said with a smile: "Wait a little longer, when the meat changes color, it will taste great when dipped in sauce."

Yun Heyan nodded and watched the red rabbit meat rolling in the smoke.

Xue Chen: [It's so delicious, I want to eat this too.]

System: [Aren't you eating?]

Xue Chen: [It's me! The original body!]

System: [Then you eat it, it will be here soon.]

Xue Chen: [What if my subordinates don't order this pot, what reason do you think is better to order the dish? Will Shaman and Lu Xiaofeng fall in love at first sight? If they fall in love, can I eat hot pot naturally?】

System: [……]

The meat in the pot is cooked. Lu Xiaofeng picked up the serving chopsticks and put it in the bowl in front of Yun Heyan. Yun Heyan dipped the sauce and put it in her mouth to taste: [It is really delicious!]

System: [Is it better than what you ate before you traveled through time?]

Xue Chen: [You don’t understand. There is no refrigerator here. It is difficult to preserve the ingredients. Everything is fresh. Maybe this rabbit was still alive half an hour ago, but now it is cooked and there is no fishy smell at all! 】

Lu Xiaofeng continued to pour meat into the pot and put the cooked meat into the two people's bowls: "Eat more."

The original body's carriage stopped at the door of Yuncuixuan. The attendants came in first to negotiate with the store owner. Someone led the horse to the backyard. There were several attendants following Xue Chen, guarding against various accidents. It was a grand scene.

Shaman and Xue Chen entered the restaurant side by side.

The attendant came over: "Master Jiu, please go upstairs."

Xue Chen nodded silently.

When Lu Xiaofeng heard the title, he turned around and saw a man and a woman, two cold people in white clothes stepping on the stairs and preparing to go upstairs.

The woman suddenly glanced in his direction and met Lu Xiaofeng's eyes.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, turned around and whispered, "She is such a cool and gorgeous beauty."

Shaman was undoubtedly very beautiful. Lu Xiaofeng had seen many beautiful women, and Shaman could be considered one of the best among them.

But at this moment, Lu Xiaofeng was not thinking about her appearance, but the title of the follower.

Master Jiu.

I wonder what the relationship is between "Master Jiu" and "Jin Gongzi"?

The one called "Master Jiu" should be the man in white.

Lu Xiaofeng only saw his back, and could roughly judge that this man was not very old, with an upright figure, holding a long sword, and should be a swordsman.

He was just like another Ximen Chuxue.

"Yun Heyan, did you see the appearance of the man in white?" After Lu Xiaofeng asked, he found that Yun Heyan had eaten all the meat in the pot, and the other plate was empty. He couldn't help but be a little shocked: "Did I think for a long time just now?"

Why did he feel that it was only a short while?

Yun Heyan nodded indifferently: "Add more."

Lu Xiaofeng called the waiter over: "Add another plate of rabbit meat, another plate of mutton... Is the young man in white just now a regular customer here?"
