Chapter 188 Jin丨Exclusive publication of Jiang Wenxue

Gong Jiu was reluctant to eat the sugar lion, but was afraid of being squeezed by pedestrians, so he carefully protected it.

He approached Xue Chen and whispered, "We are being targeted."

Xue Chen didn't care, "With you here, you will definitely protect me."

"Yeah." Gong Jiu nodded, "Are you unhappy that I paid with gold?"

"I'm really unhappy."

The two of them stopped at the juggling stall and watched a few people performing arts. The sound of gongs and drums was so loud that it attracted a circle of spectators, who were noisy and covered the conversation between the two.

Xue Chen knew that Gong Jiu could hear him clearly, so he whispered, "You no longer have the support of those shops outside, and you have to start all over again. How long can you sustain this waste of money?"

Gong Jiu: "Money is only external to us."

Xue Chen: "You are the prince!"

Gong Jiu was silent.

Xue Chen: "When you inherit the title in the future, you will be the master of the palace."

Gong Jiu: "You won't help me?"

Xue Chen: "If you want me to help you, you have to listen to me."

Gong Jiu: "I will listen to you."

Xue Chen took a few silver ingots and some copper plates from his purse and stuffed them into Gong Jiu's hands: "In the future, use copper coins in the shops on the street, use silver for daily expenses in larger restaurants, and use gold when there are many people."

Gong Jiu: "Okay."

Xue Chen: "Give me your gold when you return home, I will see how much you have, and count it every month in the future, so that you will know how much money you have, so that you don't have enough when you need it in the future."

Gong Jiu: "Okay."

A performance ended, Xue Chen took out a piece of silver as a reward and continued walking with Gong Jiu.

Xue Chen: [My brother is so much less of a worry now.]

The most difficult things have been solved, and the rest are just small matters.

Gong Jiu might have thought the same, so he just handed over the parts he was not good at.

System: [It's time for him to be filial to you, right?]

Xue Chen: [That's right! Xue

Chen saw that Gong Jiu looked like he had done something wrong, and asked him with a smile: "Why don't you eat it? Don't you like it?"

Gong Jiu: "I like it."

Xue Chen held his hand, passed the sugar lion to his mouth and took a bite, "It tastes good, the newly brewed maltose is very sweet. The prince eats the lion."

Gong Jiu: "..."

"Eat it quickly, it will be covered with dust in a while, and you won't be able to eat it."

Hearing this, Gong Jiu took a bite of the tail of the lion.

Further ahead was a stall selling embroidery, and pearl hairpins and jewelry were placed alternately. The two of them were not very interested in these, and they just glanced at them casually and walked away.

As they continued to move forward, the number of snacks increased. Xue Chen picked a shop selling mutton soup, and sat down with Gong Jiu to eat noodles and a bowl of hot soup.

Gong Jiu felt that the group of people behind them were still following them, and sneered: "You are really patient."

Xue Chen: "Don't worry about them."

Gong Jiu: "I'm afraid these people will not let us go."

Xue Chen: "Xiao Mian and Zhui Ming are nearby. If there is a conflict, don't cause any casualties. Delay time and wait for Zhui Ming to come and deal with it."

Gong Jiu knew that Xue Chen was now working in the Ministry of War. Although he had taken a long sick leave, he had not fallen behind in his work. He was involved with many forces, and any small matter could break this balance, so he must not cause any more trouble.

Gong Jiu said coldly: "I know."

Xue Chen pinched his cheek: "It's hard to come out to play, be happy."

Gong Jiu smiled at him.

At the other end of the market, Pei Rui sniffed, judged the direction of the main body according to the smell of food, and walked straight there.

There were a lot of people here, and the layout was different from the past. Zhui Ming was afraid that he would get lost, and didn't want to hurt his self-esteem, so he didn't restrain him, but put more energy on Pei Rui, always paying attention to his movements.

Seeing Pei Rui walking in that direction, Zhui Ming immediately followed: "There are food in front, are you hungry?"

Pei Rui: "Mutton soup."

Zhui Ming smiled and said: "Okay, let's go drink mutton soup."

The two came to the mutton soup stall. The original body and Gong Jiu had already left, and the people who followed them behind also walked forward and were no longer here.

Zhui Ming glanced at the menu hanging on the wall and was about to order, but Pei Rui pulled his sleeve: "What's wrong?"

Pei Rui pointed to the front: "Fried fruit."

Zhui Ming: "Which one do you want to eat? Then go buy some fruit first."

Pei Rui: "I want to eat."

System: [Can't you tell the truth? Don't you feel guilty for bullying Zhui Ming like this?]

Xue Chen: [Is it possible? I really want to eat.]

System: [……]

Forgot that this is a foodie.

There is something wrong with the way Zhui Ming asked the question!

Pei Rui and Zhui Ming came to the fried fruit stall. Zhui Ming went to buy a portion of fruit and put it in Pei Rui's hand. He patted Pei Rui on the back and said, "Let's go back and drink mutton soup."

Pei Rui held him back and said, "Cui Ming, have you seen my brother?"

Zhui Ming was about to ask which brother it was, but then he remembered that his eldest brother and second brother looked the same, and he couldn't tell them apart even if he saw them, so he swallowed his words.

He looked around a few times and said, "There is no Master Xue here."

Pei Rui took a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. He listened for a while, but the voices were too noisy, so he swallowed the food and said, "Let's continue to move forward."

Zhui Ming: "Master Xue is not in good health. He should not come out in such a cold day. Are you referring to the prince?"

Pei Rui tilted his head.

It was not a holiday yet, Pei Rui stayed in the old building of the Shenhou Mansion all day, with Zhui Ming all day, and had no contact with anyone from the Taiping Palace.

Zhui Ming thought about it and felt that Xiao Mian must have heard some noise and mistakenly thought that the prince was not far away.

Xiao Mian reacts slowly and thinks differently from ordinary people. She looks cold and sharp, but actually she is stupid and no one knows what she is thinking.

Zhui Ming felt that his guess was right and didn't want Pei Rui to be led astray by that little movement, so he suggested: "The prince may not come to such a place. If you miss him, go home and see him in the evening."

Pei Rui shook his head.

Zhui Ming: "Should we go back to drink mutton soup or keep going forward?"

Pei Rui: "Go forward."

He and the original body share the same consciousness, and Pei Rui knows exactly where the original body is. It's just that he has no vision, so he can't tell where he is, and it's even harder to find those who are following the original body in the crowd.

But as long as he follows the original body, he won't be afraid of losing that group.

When the original body went to a place with fewer people, if that group of people attacked, Pei Rui could rush over quickly to prevent Gong Jiu from killing people.

The original body continued to move forward and came to the place where fruits were sold. There

were not many kinds of fruits in winter, but there were many dried fruits and preserves. Xue Chen bought some tangerines, pear strips, peach rings, and dates, and ate them while walking with Gong Jiu.

Past the fruit stall was the vegetable stall, and then the meat stall, and in the back they sold live chickens, ducks, fish, and mutton, and the smell was very bad.

Xue Chen glanced at Gong Jiu and saw that his expression was still cold. He thought that his super endurance came into play again.

Gong Jiu noticed his brother's look, stopped and asked: "Do you want to keep going forward?"

Xue Chen: "It seems that there is nothing ahead, so let's go back."

The two turned around and saw six men in the distance approaching them after leaving the crowd.

These men looked at the butcher nearby fiercely: "I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. It's New Year's Day, be careful not to get into trouble."

Xue Chen was dressed very thickly and looked weak, as if he was just an ordinary sick young man, not threatening.

He coughed twice and whispered: "Who are you? Do you know who I am?"

The men looked at each other and laughed.

One of them said, "Old Three, tell him who we are."

A thin man said, "In this capital, 40% are Su and 60% are Lei, and the division has long been clear. We brothers work for the Six and a Half Points. No matter who you are, it's your bad luck to meet us."

System: [Xiaofen should have never seen them?]

Xue Chen: [Well, they are all small-time hooligans who are not qualified to go to the headquarters.]

System: [I thought the Six and a Half Points were at least very formal when entering the city, how could it be like this?]

Xue Chen was suspicious: [You wouldn't delete the original work just to write a short essay, right?]

System: [How is that possible! I'm a serious system!]

Xue Chen: [Really? I don't believe it. Which serious system can't even remember the original work.]

System: [Woo woo. 】

In the original novel, when Wang Xiaoshi first came to Beijing, he met the gang of Liufenbantang who were trafficking in human beings. Compared with Jinfeng Xiyulou, Liufenbantang's business involved a wider range and had no bottom line. Perhaps in order to compete with Jinfeng Xiyulou, they lowered the threshold and absorbed all the available human resources.

Xue Chen said indifferently: "The head of the Lubingtang of Liufenbantang is my friend. For the sake of the former head, I would like to ask you to help."

His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, which made those gangsters angry.

The leader was cautious and signaled to the brothers beside him with his eyes, asking them whether they would stop.

The third brother whispered, "He has already shown weakness, so he is definitely not a match for us brothers. As long as we take them down... who knows it was us who did it?"

The eldest brother pondered for a moment, stared at Xue Chen fiercely, waved his hand and said, "Go."

The six of them surrounded them together, and it seemed that they were going to drag them to a deserted place before taking action.

Gong Jiu sneered, "You are just an ant, how dare you disrespect my brother?"

Xue Chen held his hand and whispered, "Here they come."

Two of them were about to touch Xue Chen's body, and suddenly a long knife with a cold glow fell from the sky and chopped off the man's hand.

The man screamed, holding his broken wrist, panicking: "My hand! My hand is broken!"

Pei Rui whispered, "There are five more."

The third brother was the first to react, panicking: "Run, we are no match for him!"

Then he ran deep into the alley.

Pei Rui's explosive power was extremely strong. Even though he didn't know Qinggong, he still chased after him. He swung his knife at the opponent's neck.

Zhui Ming: "Xiao Mian! Don't hurt his life!"

Pei Rui's knife turned in the direction and hit the opponent's neck with the back of the knife. Although he didn't cut off his head, the huge force also knocked him out.

Gong Jiu took action, grabbed two people, disabled their ability to move, and threw them in front of Zhui Ming.

He said coldly: "These people intended to assassinate me and my brother. This place is under the jurisdiction of the Divine Police Department. Master Zhui is also here. How could such a terrible thing happen? Please ask Master Zhui to take charge of it for us."

Zhui Ming heard the sarcasm in his words and smiled bitterly: "This is Zhui's job."

Gong Jiu: "Okay, then I'll wait for good news. I hope there will be a result before the New Year so that we can have a peaceful New Year."

Xue Chen stepped forward and used his inner strength to kill the man whose hand was chopped off. The man pressed a few acupuncture points to stop his bleeding. He tore a piece of clothing from the other person, turned around and said to Gong Jiu: "Lian'er, come here. I am too weak to tie it well. You tie the cloth strip on his arm."

Gong Jiu no longer made things difficult for Zhui Ming. He went over to tie the cloth strip and complained: "He wants to kill you, and you are still helping him."

Xue Chen: "Right and wrong should be determined by the law."

Gong Jiu remembered what his brother said before and nodded to him.

Xue Chen: [In the original novel, Gong Jiu was still very humble when he appeared as the Prince of Taiping. Alas, my brother cares too much about me, so he seems so emotionally unstable.]

System: [……]

Are you showing off?
