Chapter 093 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

Gong Jiu hates Pei Rui.

When Xie Heng and his brother were similar, he couldn't help but want to kill him, not to mention that Pei Rui suddenly became his brother's younger brother and knew so many of his secrets.

He always wanted to kill Pei Rui, but his martial arts skills were always one level lower than his, so

he couldn't kill him at all! Now that his brother knew the secret of the Nameless Island from Pei Rui, he became defensive and got closer to Pei Rui. Gong Jiu hated Pei Rui even more. If he had the chance to kill him, he would never show mercy!

Xue Chen said calmly: "Do you think you have arranged everything in detail? When Concubine Shu died, Xiao Mian went to the palace to investigate the case and found this flower that day. He learned from the official that you sent it to the palace, so he has been thinking about taking it back."

Gong Jiu said coldly: "Now he has got what he wanted."

Xue Chen seemed puzzled: "He cares about you as a brother very much. He took the vase back because he knew it was yours. Why do you always target him like this?"

Gong Jiu: "If he was covering up the evidence for me, he should have dealt with it quietly."

Xue Chen: "You mean, Xiao Mian shouldn't have sent it to me?"

Gong Jiu: "I don't mean to say anything bad about my brother, I just can't bear to see my elder brother so worried and distressed. He shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing."

My elder brother is gentle and kind, he should do things cleanly and stay away from these disputes and those dark things. He should bear them alone.

Xue Chen frowned and was about to scold him, but Gong Jiu immediately said, "Brother, I was wrong! I said the wrong thing again. Don't be angry with me. I will listen to you in the future and treat Pei Rui well. I won't take the initiative to argue with him again."

After saying that, he thought of that night when he had a quarrel with his brother and couldn't sleep at night. He took a walk outside and ran into Pei Rui who came to watch the fun.

He added, "It's just that sometimes I didn't provoke him, but he relied on his martial arts skills to deliberately provoke me. Big brother, you can't just side with him and not speak for me, your biological brother."

Xue Chen said indifferently, "How old is he, how can he be your opponent."

Gong Jiu looked at him in shock, he couldn't believe that his brother could say such words. In his brother's heart, was he so unreliable?

Xue Chen: "You think I don't trust you? Why don't you reflect on yourself, what have you done in the past few years, is there anything worthy of my trust?"

Gong Jiu: "I don't..."

Xue Chen closed his eyes: "Now that I think about it, the famine in Longxing Prefecture seems to have your shadow."

Gong Jiu: "That was to accumulate power to compete with King Taiping."

Xue Chen: "Enough, is there anyone who calls father like you?"

Gong Jiu's face was pale.

Xue Chen: "The Daxing is worried about internal and external troubles, can't you see? If it weren't for father holding the military power, the Jin people would have attacked long ago, and then you and I would be their captives, and you would be satisfied?"

Xue Chen: [I was scared to death, I almost said something like going to the grassland to herd sheep together, fortunately I stopped in time. 】

System:【I advise you to collect your thoughts, otherwise your character will be ruined sooner or later.】

Xue Chen:【The character is ruined is a small matter. I am afraid that he really wants to go to the grassland with me to herd sheep! Just think about it, in the vast grassland, besides the three of us, there are many sheep, no one, my brother will be very happy.】

System:【I think he will be jealous of the sheep.】

Xue Chen thought thoughtfully:【If my brother knew that I was with you every day, he would be very jealous of you.】

System:【!!!】

Am I also a part of your brother's play?

Gong Jiu said: "With me here, it is impossible for you to suffer. Wuming Island is far away from the turmoil of the Central Plains. It is a paradise. Big brother can go to the island with me, I..."

Xue Chen looked at him with more and more disappointment, and Gong Jiu did not dare to say anything more.

Xue Chen sighed: "It seems that I have never known you."

This time Gong Jiu knew very well what he said wrong.

The eldest brother loves this land and cares about the people of Xingguo. The "you and me" he mentioned does not only refer to the two of them, but he wanted him to put himself in the shoes of the others and think about the situation of Xingguo.

That sentence was not asking himself what to do in the future, but questioning him, how dare he do such a thing under such circumstances?

If King Taiping fell and the Jin Kingdom invaded, even the royal descendants and nobles like them would not be spared. What kind of predicament would the tens of millions of people in Xingguo fall into?

No matter how Gong Jiu explained, he could not change what he had done.

That's why the eldest brother was so disappointed.

From the day he became "Gong Jiu", they were no longer fellow travelers.

He fell into depravity and entered the dark world, abandoning many things. He will never have his brother's nobleness and purity again.

It is precisely because he has lost it that he yearns for it especially.

Gong Jiu looked at his brother at a loss.

His wisdom, patience, and ruthlessness are enough for him to accomplish many things, but he just doesn't know how to restore his relationship with his brother.

Xue Chen waved at him: "Come here."

Gong Jiu walked up to him blankly, and when he saw his eldest brother sitting on the couch, he squatted down.

Xue Chen looked into his eyes. The two were very close and could see each other reflected in each other's eyes.

Xue Chen put his hand on his brother's shoulder: "I only ask you one question, which one is more important, your ambition or mine?"

System: [You have been holding this sentence in your heart for a long time, right? ]

Xue Chen: [Am I that kind of person? With my intelligence, I know the answer even without asking him! 】

System: 【Then you tell me! 】

Xue Chen: 【If it was before, my brother would choose Wuming Island, because he knew that I would not give up on him. But now, he has been KTVed by me, far away from his previous environment, and his heart is full of me. In order to keep me, he will definitely choose me! 】

System: 【Can you say those letters correctly? 】

Xue Chen: 【CPU. 】

System: 【……】

Gong Jiu said sincerely without hesitation: "Of course it's my brother."

Xue Chen smiled; "You have always been trustworthy and always keep your word. I temporarily believed you, but if I knew that you were lying to me again, I would never forgive you."

System: [Yes, your brother is really trustworthy. In the original book, he promised Lu Xiaofeng and never broke his promise. Otherwise, Lu Xiaofeng would not have killed him and he was cheated out of a lot of gold by Lu Xiaofeng. Why did he only lie to you? ]

Xue Chen: [First of all, he rarely lied to me, but just concealed the truth. Every word he said to me was sincere. Secondly, I was too special to him. He was a very cowardly person and would subconsciously choose to escape. Occasionally, he lied to me out of instinct. Finally, did he really never lie to my father? 】

System: [He deceived me with his actions! 】

Xue Chen: [That's right! 】

Gong Jiu stared at his brother blankly, as if he had lost the ability to think, unable to understand why he was let off so easily after doing such a big mistake.

Xue Chen: "Dad and I are both responsible for your current situation, we can't just blame you."

Gong Jiu lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Xue Chen: "Although there is no difference between you and me in age, you call me brother after all, so I should fulfill my brother's responsibilities."

Gong Jiu looked up at him: "I am willing to listen to you, but I don't know what you are going to do?"

Xue Chen: "Just do as we said before, I will become 'Gong Jiu' for you, you stay in the Taiping Palace, and I will decide how to teach you after I figure out what is going on with the nameless island."

Teaching...

Gong Jiu's heart was slightly hot, and his lower abdomen was also hot.

He thought it was not good, and he immediately practiced his skills to suppress his thoughts, and tried his best to restrain himself from thinking about it.

Xue Chen saw his expression: "Or do you think I'm not qualified to discipline you?"

Gong Jiu's face flushed as he was lost in thought: "My brother is certainly qualified."

Xue Chen: "Why are you blushing?"

Gong Jiu struggled to control his breathing and said calmly: "I'm fine... I just didn't expect that my brother was willing to give me another chance... I thought... you didn't want me anymore..."

Xue Chen: "Are you crying?"

Gong Jiu took a deep breath at this time.

System: [You could have calculated this?]

Xue Chen: [It's really a coincidence...]

Xue Chen: "Okay, get up quickly, you are the prince of the royal family, what will happen if Xiao He sees you later."

Gong Jiu got up and sat on the couch next to him.

He actually wanted to leave, but he was afraid that his brother would misunderstand him, so he could only endure it as much as possible.

Xue Chen picked up the orange on the table, peeled it, and stuffed a slice into his brother's mouth, "Hey, if you really want to cry, then cry. Xiao He shouldn't be so tactless as to come over at this time."

Xue Chen: [But Xiao Mian definitely won't be tactful.]

System: […]

Is it really so fun to persecute your brother?

Gong Jiu bit the orange, as if biting his own flesh and blood. His eyes were red, and he didn't dare to look at his brother's face. His eyes dodged and fell on his hand peeling the orange. Suddenly, he thought of him holding a whip, and he looked away as if he was burned.

Xue Chen still didn't want to let him go, so he fed him another orange slice.

He leaned on the couch and said softly: "You don't understand my feelings in the mansion, so how can I understand you? All those expectations of you in the past were just my imagination."

Gong Jiu's voice was slightly hoarse: "I disappoint my brother."

Xue Chen: "Yes, I am a little disappointed, but this way, it seems that I am closer to you."

He didn't explain too much, but Gong Jiu understood what his brother meant.

In the past, his brother envied him for being able to realize his ambitions and do what he wanted to do outside, but he never thought about his own hardships, and didn't know what the outside environment would shape a person into.

In his heart, his brother is perfect, so why isn't he in his brother's heart?

Until today, his brother saw another side of him.

Gong Jiu resisted the urge to pinch himself and whispered, "I've always been afraid that you would know."

Xue Chen: "I know you are afraid."

He sensed his brother's fear, but he couldn't help him because his brother didn't want to tell him the reason.

Now he found the reason.

It turned out that his brother was most afraid of him.

Gong Jiu: "I don't want to be alienated from you."

Xue Chen: "Neither do I."

Gong Jiu: "I only have you, but you have friends like father, Pei Rui, and Xie Heng."

"They are also your relatives and friends, but you are unwilling to accept them." Xue Chen got angry when he mentioned this. He gently poked his brother's heart, "Besides, don't you have a sister named Gong Zhu? You two have a very good relationship. Although she was born on the nameless island, she also has many lovely qualities."

Gong Jiu: "To me, she is... like Pei Rui to my brother."

Xue Chen's tone became cold: "Really?"

Gong Jiu noticed it sharply: "Brother, are you unhappy?"

Xue Chen said lightly: "No, I'm happy that you have close people outside, but I don't want you to make bad friends."

System: [Your brother is the one who leads people astray! 】

Xue Chen: [My brother... well... he also has good qualities, such as keeping his word.]

System: [...]

Seeing that he had finished peeling the orange, Gong Jiu took a handkerchief to wipe his hands: "The Palace Master and I became siblings only for the sake of benefit. Her father is my master and the owner of the Nameless Island. In order to gain a firm foothold, I have given her many things. In my heart, she is far less important than my elder brother."

Xue Chen: "What did you give her?"

Gong Jiu: "Clothes and jewelry."

Xue Chen: [Why do I feel that there is no difference in the treatment I and Beef Soup receive?]

System: [There must be a difference.]

Xue Chen: [In the original book, Gong Jiu gave Beef Soup many boxes of gifts at a time, and more than once. To be honest, I just received a gift from my brother, and I thought he gave mine along with the beef soup. 】

System: [……] Started to recall Xue Chen's reaction at that time.

Xue Chen: [In the original novel, when he chased Lu Xiaofeng, he also brought beef soup. The two of them camped outdoors and ate together. They had a very good relationship! He never took me out to play!] (Note)

System: [He did take Xie Heng with him.]

Xue Chen: [How can it be the same? Wuwu, in my brother's heart, Xie Heng is not me.]

System: [……]

Gong Jiu was very happy. He thought his elder brother didn't care about him, but he didn't expect that he cared so much about the palace master, but he just didn't say it.

Gong Jiu whispered: "I will not send gifts to the Palace Master in the future, and gradually distance myself from her. Big brother should also stay away from Pei Rui, okay?"

Xue Chen: "No."

Gong Jiu: "Why?"

Since we care about each other so much, why should we let other people be brothers and sisters and interfere with our previous family relationship?

Xue Chen: "Because you will only become more and more lonely."

Gong Jiu: "I'm not afraid of loneliness."

Xue Chen: "I am afraid."

Gong Jiu was speechless.

My brother has been staying alone in the mansion for so many years, and he is indeed extremely lonely.

Xue Chen smiled and said, "Besides, I will soon contact the Palace Master. You have already cut off contact with her, and you are not qualified to talk to me about conditions."

Gong Jiu: "..."

Xue Chen: [My brother is mine, and my sister is also mine! I took them all away! ]

System: [Don't bully him too much, be careful that he will become completely perverted. 】

Xue Chen:【Don't worry, I know what's going on.】

System:【……】

Aren't you saying this to fool your father?

Xue Chen said: "Okay, you're going to scratch my hands."

Gong Jiu then realized that he hadn't stopped moving his hands, and was still wiping the orange juice off his brother's fingers.

Although his brother's swordsmanship hadn't reached the top level, it was pretty good. It's just that he was weak and rarely practiced swordsmanship on weekdays,

so he didn't have any scars. In addition, there were plenty of various medicinal herbs in the palace, and they were well maintained. They looked no different from his own hands. The fingers of these hands were slender, extremely white, but powerful, and looked exactly like his own hands.

If I could pick up a whip...

Gong Jiu's thoughts paused, and when he came to his senses, he saw the handkerchief on his hand and the slightly red knuckles from being rubbed.

His brother's words just now came to his mind again.

"You've almost rubbed my hands."

Gong Jiu quickly threw away the handkerchief.

Xue Chen: "What's wrong with you?"

Gong Jiu whispered, "Nothing."

Xue Chen: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Gong Jiu: "I just... feel like crying."

System: [Gong Jiu is lying!]

Xue Chen: [I guess he's not lying, he really wants to cry.]

System: [Gong Jiu is crying!]

Xue Chen was afraid that he would get sick, so he didn't embarrass his brother for too long and let him go.

Although it is night now, he has not slept yet. Gong Jiu should have gone outside to find someone to beat him up, because no strange noises were heard.

Xue Chen and his several vests lay on the bed contentedly: [Have a nice day, good night system.]

System: [Good night.]

-

Xiao Liu's oven was not successfully made, but a stove was made.

The stove is made of bricks, like a medieval fireplace, with a baking tray on top to isolate the ashes, and a chimney built outside, so you can bake smoothly as long as you light the fire.

This stove is very easy to make, and the reason why it took so long to make it is because there was a problem with the site selection.

Xue Chen didn't want to build it near the kitchen, because the kitchen was too far away, and every time he made something, there were so many people watching, and it would be bad not to give Bao Xiruo some space.

He originally wanted to build it near Liu Yixuan, but Zhen'er was afraid that Yun Heyan would molest Liu Yixuan, so she firmly disagreed, so he built it near Yun Heyan, and let Liu Yixuan bring her maid over.

Zhen'er was very unhappy: "Miss, you are the adopted daughter of the princess. I heard that the prince is ready to confer a title on you. It won't be long before you will be a princess. How can you do this for a Jianghu person?"

Xue Chen: [Wow! I'm going to be a princess!]

System: [Wow! You're going to be a princess! 】

This was the first time that Xue Chen was so synchronized with the system. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the system was really like a red plum, and after staying with him for a long time, his brain became more useful.

Xue Chen: [It seems that Wanyan Honglie is going to send me away.]

System: [What?]

Xue Chen: [In their view, girls always have to get married. It is a kind of political bargaining chip. If I never have a title, it means that Wanyan Honglie doesn't need me as a "daughter".]

System: [Who is he going to marry you to?]

Xue Chen: [It doesn't matter who I marry. I won't get married. It shouldn't be long before I receive orders from the Privy Council. The important thing is that in a few days, my title in the Jin Kingdom will be on par with that in the Daxing!]

System: [Yes, my title is still a county duke. 】

Liu Yixuan walked briskly with Zhen'er to Yun Heyan, and happily lit the oven to bake cookies.

Zhen'er saw his expression and guessed in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, are you interested in Mr. Yun?"

Liu Yixuan looked at her doubtfully and shook his head. Zhen'er

: "Since the lady doesn't like him, it is better for her to avoid suspicion and stay away from him. If her reputation is ruined, how can she find a good husband in the future?"

Xue Chen: [It seems that the ladies here can only do one thing, which is to get married.]

System: [What are you going to do?

Xue Chen: Even if Da Mian wasn't there, Xiao Liu was brought before the princes by Wanyan Honglie, and made such a hint. Her reputation couldn't be good. I'd rather have an affair with Da Mian, and I can eat more delicious food .

The cookies came out of the oven. Liu Yixuan wet the coarse cloth with water, stacked several layers, and took out the baking tray.

This time the cookies did not turn pitch black. They looked good and smelled sweet.

After cooling down, Liu Yixuan tasted a piece, controlled Yun Heyan to come out of the house, picked up the cookies and started eating.

Xue Chen: [I did it!]

System: [Congratulations!]

Xue Chen: [I'm a little curious about what Xiao Liu's blood tastes like. He is so good at cooking, so his blood must taste good.]

System: [Don't you already have a substitute? Why do you still want to drink blood!]

Xue Chen: [Satisfying appetite is one thing, satisfying curiosity is another. Don't you want to know?】

System: [I want to, but you can't just try it when you see a vest!]

Xue Chen: [Why not?]

After saying that, Yun Heyan saw Zhen'er busy cleaning the stove, took out a dagger, walked to Liu Yixuan, held his finger, cut a very thin line, lowered his head and sucked.

System: [What does it taste like?]
