Chapter 233 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue

Of course I do. This thought popped up in Zhui Ming's mind uncontrollably.

Isn't it normal to miss you? No one who has been deceived for so long will immediately forget the culprit.

Zhui Ming wanted to keep a distance from Pei Rui, but Pei Rui was really clingy, like a little tail. He was so big, but he had no self-awareness at all.

There was a table in the middle of the room. Zhuge Zheng and I were in the main seat, Wuqing brought his own chair, and the seats of the others were at the bottom. Zhui Ming was the second seat on the right.

Pei Rui stood behind Zhui Ming like a guard, making Zhui Ming very uncomfortable.

He was just thinking whether to move a chair for Pei Rui, when the young man suddenly bent down, causing a gust of wind. Zhui Ming subconsciously dodged, but was held down by Pei Rui. Zhui

Ming whispered, "What are you going to do now?"

Pei Rui: "You haven't answered me yet." Zhui Ming really didn't want to answer, so he turned his face away. Pei Rui poked him, "Cui Ming, Cui Ming." This sound was like a death sentence, and the uncle and the brothers all looked over. Pei Rui was not sensitive at all at this time, or he didn't care about being stared at like this. Compared to this, his answer was more important. Zhui Ming's mood inexplicably improved a lot. He whispered, "Come closer." Pei Rui immediately came closer. Zhui Ming: "That day I bought the goose with five flavors and apricot cheese, and I have been waiting for you to come back, but you never came back." Pei Rui: "Eat it today." Zhui Ming: "It went bad in two days, and I threw it away." Pei Rui was stunned for a long time, and asked slowly: "Where did you throw it?" Zhui Ming: "Why, do you want to pick it up and eat it?" Pei Rui nodded. "You..." Zhui Ming wanted to ask him if he was stupid, but thinking of Xiao Mian in the past, that word was really unspeakable. If he was not pretending, and everything was real, such a character was definitely not "stupid" as the world thinks, but a pure heart. Zhui Ming didn't have the energy to argue with him, and calmed down, "What you can't find has been eaten by Xiao Lie." Pei Rui took out a string of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed it into Zhui Ming's hand. Ordinary people seldom use silver. Some common things are paid with copper coins, but silver is hard to find. Pei Rui cannot see and will not buy expensive things. He only carries copper coins that are easy to count. Taking it out at this time, combined with his status, can show his sincerity. Pei Rui: "I have money. Buy another one." The copper coin still carries the boy's body temperature. Zhui Ming held the money and lowered his head: "How can a goose be counted individually? That's called a goose." Pei Rui: "Buy another one." "Ahem." After attracting everyone's attention, Zhuge Zhengwo said to Pei Rui gently: "Did the prince ask you to come?" "Dad is very busy recently and won't take care of me. My eldest brother said he doesn't need me anymore, so I came back." Come back. He also regarded the Shenhou Mansion as his own. Zhuge Zhengwo asked, "Did the prince or the two young masters ask you to convey any message?" Pei Rui shook his head. Zhuge Zhengwo pondered for a moment, and said gently, "Don't stand, sit down too." Pei Rui thought for a while, bent down and reached out to touch the chair under Zhui Ming's seat, looking like he was testing whether there was still room and whether he could sit with him. Why is he so clingy? It looks like he really misses me. Zhui Ming pushed him: "Don't sit here, go over there." Pei Rui: "But I want to sit next to you." Wuqing and Tieshou both smiled, watching quietly, even breathing slowly, pretending that they didn't exist. Lengxue moved the last chair over, placed it next to Zhui Ming, and said to Pei Rui: "Sit." Zhui Ming glared at him. Zhuge Zhengwo: "Where were we talking about just now?" Wuqing glanced at Pei Rui. Zhuge Zhengwo: "There is no need to avoid him. If we have to avoid him, then there is no need to work for the prince." "Yes." Wuqing said, "The national treasury is full of taxes and the money is enough to support the military expenses on the front line. As long as the prince is determined and the government and the people are united, we will be able to repel the Jin Kingdom one day." Tieshou: "We can't drag it out like this. Even if the national treasury can drag it out, the people can't drag it out. If we continue to consume it like this, who knows how many people will die." How could Wuqing not understand this truth? The Jin people have tasted the sweetness of plundering, and have quickly entered the feudal dynasty from a slave society. The way of succession from the elder brother to the younger brother has taught them to fight among themselves, but the time has not been long, and they are still wild in their bones, much better than the group of soldiers in Daxing who don't know why they are fighting. The Jurchens are not enough to be defeated if they have less than 10,000 people. Even if the King Taiping personally led the troops to fight the Jin people, there would be many casualties. If you want to defeat the Jin Kingdom, you can only fill in one life after another. Zhuge Zhengwo: "The King Taiping has the intention to reorganize the military, but the specific regulations are still under discussion." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The people below have to think about the character of the superiors before they can achieve their goals. They haven't changed their minds for a while, but after hearing what the uncle said, they finally felt it. No one will worry about spending too much money on government affairs and neglecting their own enjoyment and refuse to change! Tieshou glanced at Pei Rui, the young man had a blank expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He said, "Prince Taiping's position is unstable, will he be so cruel as to make drastic changes?" As long as there are changes, there will be people who will stop him. At the beginning of his reign, he should follow the ancestral system to appease the court officials. "He will." Zhuge Zhengwo said, "If he was afraid of being criticized, he would not have taken this step from the beginning. Now that he is in this position, he will definitely not back down." - In the far suburbs of the capital, in the remote and desolate wilderness. There was a loud explosion, and the dust flew.

After a while, several soldiers in armor ran over, measured the pit, and shouted: "Report! Six feet three inches wide, two inches deep!"

The explosion had just passed, and my ears were still buzzing, as if the sound came from far away. After so many explosions, the officers guarding here had become accustomed to this discomfort, and asked excitedly: "How much?"

"Six feet three inches wide, two inches wide!"

"It's done!"

The soldiers cheered.

Every day they would bring different formulas of explosives to experiment, and what kind of power was considered successful was calculated by Master Xie through dosage, soil hardness, detonation method, etc.

"What number was it just now?" The officer glanced at the mark on the paper bag next to him, "One thousand seven hundred and ninety-two, don't make a mistake, go and tell Master Xie!"

Half an hour later, Xie Heng received the message.

He put down the cinnabar in his hand and said lightly: "I know, try a few more times, and after confirming that it is correct, please ask the prince to come and see it in person."

"Yes."

After the others left, Xue Chen shouted in his mind: [System! ]

System: [...]

Xue Chen: [You! Hear! You! Did! You! ]

System: [... I'm not deaf yet. ]

Xue Chen: [I succeeded! Ah! Ah! Ah! I broke through the setting! I broke through the worldview! Why is Xie Heng's skill level still level five? Add it up for me, fill it up completely! I want to change the world! 】

Things have changed, now it's the system's turn to have its head buzzed by his yelling.

After waiting for Xue Chen to calm down, the system finally thought clearly.

System: [Let's reconcile.]

Xue Chen: [What reconciliation? Did we have a fight?]

System: [When will revenge come true?]

It can yell in Xue Chen's head at a louder volume and retaliate, but Xue Chen has too many tricks, it is no match for this pervert. And he can also lock himself in a small dark room. There will be no good end to going against Xue Chen.

Xue Chen: [What injustice? Where is the injustice? Do you feel wronged?]

The system endured the humiliation and said: [I don't feel wronged.]

"Are you tired, young master? Go outside and get some fresh air." Hu Sheng came over with a wet towel and wiped the cinnabar off Xie Heng's hands.

The weather was very hot, and the alchemy room was even hotter. Hu was afraid that he would get heat stroke, so he would come in every once in a while to give him some water or sweet soup to clear away heat, and to check on him.

"Yeah."

Hu pushed Xie Heng out of the alchemy room. The breeze blew and he felt very happy.

Xie Heng was no longer as depressed as before, and he looked a bit high-spirited. "It won't be long before the prince will send people to the border, and I will ask to go with him then."

Hu said, "Wherever the young master is, Hu will be there."

Xie Heng chuckled, "Okay."

After the new type of explosive was created, it was used to fill firearms, and the rest of the research also made breakthrough progress.

Xie Heng did not have the skills to show his abilities, and was too lazy to do everything himself, so he asked King Taiping to find a few skilled craftsmen to continue the research and development of thermal weapons.

The new weapon was soon sent to the border, and Xie Heng set off with him, along with two other aliases, Liu Yixuan and Yun Heyan.

Three days later, Xue Chen and others finally arrived at the northern battlefield.

At the same time, Gong Jiu bathed and changed his clothes, and at Xue Chen's suggestion, he greeted Ximen Chuxue's arrival with the best attitude.

When the appointed time was approaching, he and Xue Chen stood at the door together, one cold and the other indifferent. They looked very similar, but there were some differences when you looked closely.

In fact, the twins had the same worries in their hearts.

Xue Chen was afraid that his younger brother would beat Ximen Chuxue to death, and he was also afraid that Ximen Chuxue would beat his younger brother to death.

Gong Jiu's worries were much simpler. He was worried that he would get sick after the sword fight with Ximen Chuxue.

It would be fine if he just got sick in front of Ximen Chuxue, but his brother was here, and he seemed to care about Ximen Chuxue a lot.

He glanced at Xue Chen secretly.

Xue Chen smiled: "Don't be nervous."

Gong Jiu felt more pressured by his encouragement.

Xue Chen: "You have been studying hard since you were young, and every step you take is very solid. For you, using a sword is as easy as breathing. You have already entered the realm of no sword, which is higher than Ximen Chuxue's realm. Unlike me, I can only pretend. You have such strength, why are you still afraid?"

The eldest brother is right.

Gong Jiu hardened his heart and decided to kill Ximen Chuxue before he could be beaten by him, so as not to destroy the image of him as a brother in Ximen Chuxue's mind.

Xue Chen noticed that he lowered his eyes and guessed his thoughts at once. He was about to scold him, but before he opened his mouth, he caught a glimpse of the white figure at the end of the alley. He had to glance at his brother and shut up.

Ximen Chuxue walked slowly towards him, holding a black-scabbard long sword in his left hand.

With white clothes and black hair, jade fingers holding a black-scabbard, he looked like an ink painting.

If the red plum blossoms were dotted with blood on this ink painting, it would become a masterpiece.

Ximen Chuxue seems to be detached from the world, but he actually knows how to live.

At least the "beauty" he pursues can be understood even if others do not recognize it.

Ximen Chuxue came to stand in front of the Xue family twins and easily identified who was Gong Jiu from their clothes.

He looked sword-like and said coldly: "It seems you are ready."

Gong Jiu said coldly: "Not bad."
