Chapter 81 Secret Investigation
"Since you don't want to go, then don't go. I will go directly to the military camp after I go out. You don't have to wait for me at noon." The man did not force her. He left after giving her some instructions.
It seems that women should not be spoiled too much. If you spoil her too much, she will not know who she is. Now she wants to control herself. How can he be a spineless man? If he doesn't want to go, then don't go! He really thinks he has to coax her.
After he left, Yun Wansheng put on her cloak again and said, "Xiaoqing, shall we go out for a walk?"
The maid waiting on the side was stunned for a moment: "Miss Yun doesn't want to go out?"
"I don't want to go out with him, but I didn't say I can't go out by myself. Let's go." Yun Wansheng glanced at her and walked out of the room.
"I really don't know what this guy is doing?" Xiao Qing muttered to herself, then followed him out.
In her opinion, this concubine was spoiled because of her favor and didn't know how to act properly. If she continued like this, the Marquis would get tired of her sooner or later.
How could Yun Wansheng not know the man's good intentions, but what he thought was good intentions was actually an invisible harm to himself.
She also knew that what she said would make the man unhappy, but what she wanted was to make him unhappy. If she could make him hate her early, then she would not have to worry about being hunted down when she left.
On the other side, Mu Xingci did not go to the military camp outside the city, but went to the Military and Political Department inside the city.
"Greetings, Lord!"
Mu Xingci glanced at the six subordinates who were greeting him in front of the hall and said, "No need to be polite!"
"My Lord, we have found some clues about the pistol you asked me to investigate." Zhang Yu said as he took out the pattern of the black pistol from his arms and handed it forward.
Mu Xingci took the paper and looked at it: "Speak!"
"My Lord, I have visited dozens of blacksmith shops over the past three days and finally found out the origin of this pistol at Lao Niu's Blacksmith Shop.
The shopkeeper Niu said that a few days ago, a weak young man came with a blueprint and asked them to build it according to the blueprint. At that time, they used the best black iron materials, and finally the deal was sold for 1,500 taels.
Shopkeeper Niu wanted to leave the blueprints and molds, but the young man disagreed and insisted that Shopkeeper Niu destroy them in front of him. In the end, the manufacturing method was not preserved either. The young man's name was Wan Yin.
Zhang Yu reported the matter to Mu Xingci in a simple and clear manner with a look of regret.
"Wan Yin? One thousand five hundred taels?" Mu Xingci muttered to himself, then frowned: "What a coincidence, one thousand five hundred taels." His tone seemed calm.
"My Lord, this pistol is so powerful. If we use it in the barracks, our chances of winning the battle will be much greater."
Zhang Yu looked a little excited. He had seen the marquis try out this gun in the military camp. As a soldier, he valued lethal weapons the most.
"Shopkeeper Niu, can you still make it?"
"Shopkeeper Niu said he couldn't remember it completely because the blueprint was marked too finely. Even the slightest flaw wouldn't work. The three blacksmiths spent many days tinkering with it before they finally made it."
"Let them do it according to their memory first, and then let me take a look."
"yes!"
"Let's not talk about this matter for now. Let's discuss the defense map at the border." Mu Xingci stood up as if nothing had happened, and then discussed the battle plan with them.
On the other side, Yun Wansheng was strolling along the street boredly. When she saw a stall selling combs, she stopped because she fell in love with an exquisitely carved sandalwood comb.
When she wanted to reach out to take it, she suddenly saw a man's hand take the comb away before her, which made her look at the person next to her.
When she saw the man's face clearly, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
You know what, whether I know him or not, this man is quite good-looking, with a pair of cold yet affectionate almond-shaped eyes, and a melon-shaped face with clear contours.
"Miss, do you also like this comb?" The man opposite asked in a low voice with gentle eyes.
"I just thought it looked nice and wanted to take a closer look. Since you chose it first, I'll take a look at the others." Yun Wansheng said in a casual tone, and then turned her gaze to the stall again.
The man next to her seemed to be admiring the comb, but his eyes kept glancing at the woman in front of him.
"Girl, why do I feel like we've met somewhere before?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man: "Sir, do you often use this method to chat up strange women?"
The man laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand me, young lady. I just think you look like one of my benefactors."
Yun Wansheng saw that his words were getting more and more outrageous. She had originally had a good impression of this handsome guy, but now seeing him being so frivolous, she ignored him and turned away.
Unexpectedly, after just a few steps, the man caught up with her again: "Girl, do you still remember what happened in the ruined temple outside the city?"
His words really made Yun Wansheng stop in her tracks: "Who are you?"
"Miss, I am the injured person. If you hadn't helped me at that time, I might have died in the ruined temple." The man smiled gently.
"So it's you. I'm sorry, I wronged you just now." Yun Wansheng smiled naturally and generously.
"It's okay. Anyone who is disturbed by a man will be misunderstood."
"Are you alright with your injury?"
"Thanks to you, I have recovered. May I know your name, young lady, so that I may know the name of your benefactor?"
"Don't think of me as a benefactor. If you want to thank someone, thank that Gou Dan. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gone to that dilapidated temple." Yun Wansheng said hurriedly.
"Goudan is naturally my benefactor, but without your help, I would not be able to stand here, so I must repay your kindness." The man said seriously.
"Sir, it's really not necessary. I only spent a few taels of silver. It's not worth your gratitude. I have something to do, so I'll go back first. Please do as you please." Yun Wansheng smiled politely and walked back.
"Miss, my name is Shangguan Lan. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Dawu Escort Agency to find me." Shangguan Lan looked at the woman's back and said his name loudly.
Yun Wansheng didn't look back and went straight back to the villa. In her opinion, the less contact she had with others, the less trouble she would have. Especially since she was a mistress, if that person knew about it, she would be so embarrassed.
When I returned to the house and was about to drink some water, I saw a Buddha sitting in front of the table: "You... didn't you say you wouldn't come back?"
"I heard from Aunt Wang that you went shopping?" Mu Xingci looked at her coldly.
"Uh! I was just walking around and didn't buy anything." Yun Wansheng sneered.
"You can't go out with me, can you just go out on your own?"
"How can this be the same? If I go out alone, who will know who I am?" Yun Wansheng said, then sat on the stool next to him and poured herself a cup of tea.
Mu Xingci looked at her natural and casual behavior, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would be disliked by a woman. Yun Wansheng, aren't you afraid of angering me?"
