Chapter 281 An unexpectedly generous reward



Chu Xi suddenly felt a little embarrassed and covered her eyes like she was trying to hide her ears and steal the bell. She really had forgotten about this matter. A big embarrassment appeared on her face...

He quickly called out to Little Stone, who was enthusiastically studying the green plants in the research institute, and started the Xiao Ai intelligent teaching mode as usual. Chu Xi hurriedly prepared some "goods" and set off. Of course, he couldn't forget the most crucial disguise!

Weapons and ammunition are related to national security, especially such advanced and ridiculously valuable items. If they were exposed anywhere, they would attract a large number of investigators...

If that happens, Chu Xi will not be able to live in peace.

Relying on the magical oriental disguise, she quickly turned into that handsome "him".

Soon they arrived near Zhang Wen. Chu Xi calmed himself down and coughed lightly.

“Ahem…”

The small voice startled Zhang Wen, who had already experienced countless hopes and disappointments, and he suddenly looked up. His bloodshot eyes looked forward in a daze. When he saw clearly that it was the figure that had been haunting him, he lowered his head habitually, but immediately raised it again.

A strange look flashed in a pair of originally confused eyes!

“You, you…”

He was even so excited that he couldn't speak. Of course, he didn't know how to address the handsome man in front of him. This man who looked like a rich and handsome young man had helped himself and the country a lot!

"Thank you, thank you!"

He expressed his sincere thanks and immediately stood up straight, wanting to salute as usual. However, when he raised his hand halfway, he felt the people passing by and his current status, and it was not appropriate to attract too much attention.

The saluting hand froze for a moment, then immediately stretched forward again. Was it for a handshake?

Chu Xi immediately took two steps back, two steps, because he was too enthusiastic, and her eyes seemed to want to say thank you!

But Chu Xi will shake hands? No! He waved his hands quickly.

"Stop, stop, if you come any closer I'll leave."

This sentence frightened Zhang Wen. He stopped in confusion and bewilderment. This was a big client that he had to be "grateful" to, and there must be no problem with it!

"Okay, okay, I won't move. Don't leave..."

"How much of that stuff do you have left? We want it all. Oh, shall we go check on the payment for the last time?"

Chu Xi couldn't help but reveal an expectant expression. This was earned legitimately, so let's see if there is anything good in it. She was inexplicably looking forward to it.

"This is all I've had for so many years. Knowing you don't want money, I've traded it with several of my colleagues for a lot of old stuff. Of course, I know what you want. Based on my years of experience, there shouldn't be any cheap items..."

As they walked and talked, Chu Xi could already imagine what the scene was like. The room full of antique jades was waving to him... He still had more faith in Zhang Wen, a comrade who had been educated in the army.

Finally, Chu Xi couldn't help herself and released her mental power. Sure enough, in a slightly hidden small courtyard deep in the alley, in the west wing, there were five large boxes neatly stacked. Judging from the looks of it, they must be some old items...

Chu Xi suppressed her curiosity. She did not "look" inside the box. Seeing it with her own eyes would be more exciting.

Along the way, he also "discovered" two groups of well-hidden guards. Judging from their neat attire, they were probably retired soldiers. Chu Xi admired Zhang Wen's ability. Being able to gather a group of such retired veterans would definitely lead to great things!

Chu Xi followed him with a relaxed attitude, which confused Zhang Wen. He could imagine that this handsome young man must be very capable, but he followed him so casually and without any vigilance to such a secluded place. Wasn't he afraid of being robbed? Was he arrogant because of his talent and courage? Or was he just foolish and daring?

He believed that the man before him must have some hidden agenda that he didn't know about. Luckily, he wasn't the ruthless type. Since he was being candid, he was also being open and honest, simply hoping for more advanced weapons to improve the army's strength and make the country a little stronger...

Soon, the two arrived at the wing room in the courtyard. Chu Xi did not hesitate to go forward and open a few boxes.

Glittering with gold and silver, pristine antique jades, and exquisite scrolls, each one vivid and lifelike, I even found a shrimp painting by Qi Baishi...

It seemed to have mesmerized Chu Xi's eyes. This, this was truly a pleasant surprise, to be able to get so many good things...

Every profession has its own specializations. Zhang Wen is no ordinary person. He must have done a lot of "robbing the rich to help the poor" over the years. Or maybe he is a tyrant who dares to be the first in the world! He puts himself outside of morality for the sake of national justice...

But they were professionals who knew their stuff. Their methods were much more professional than her scattershot approach, and they had saved quite a few cultural relics and antiques. You have to know that the "Four Olds" campaign back then destroyed a lot of the artifacts handed down by our ancestors...

What fascinated her most were the jade pieces in the last box. They were all packed in boxes of various sizes and wrapped in velvet, for fear that they would be damaged in the slightest.

Finally, Chu Xi used her mental power to scan the last large box. She reached out and gently pulled out an exquisite purple wood box and gently opened it...

On a fist-sized piece of emerald green jade, a skilled jade craftsman carved out a majestic scene of an ancient knight-errant. The trees on the mountain are lush and green, and the veins of the leaves are faintly discernible. The knight-errant has a handsome face with a dignified air, his eyebrows are like long swords, and his mouth is slightly open. Next to the knight-errant is an extremely handsome horse, which is obviously a peerless steed!

The entire jade artifact is finely carved, with lifelike shapes and vivid expressions.

The love in Chu Xi's eyes seemed to be overflowing...
