Chapter 41: Too many heart eyes, no wonder he can't grow tall!
In the main account, there was no more mention of that matter. Zhao You handed over a few other matters to Chen Daniu and led Xia Chuyi out of the camp, getting on the horse carriage they came in. He came and went hastily, Xia Chuyi didn't know what exactly happened, but he could also infer one or two things from his stern expression.
Things have probably gotten out of hand.
Fortunately, no matter how big the thing was, it had nothing to do with her. She hummed a little tune and looked at the scenery by the road, feeling that everything was fine. Occasionally, she would steal a glance at the man in black robes, who seemed careless but actually had an aura of elegance that couldn't be hidden, even in the dim light or when he was frowning. His impeccable demeanor was like magic, making her feel a little uneasy and restless...
She couldn't help it and let out a snort, then burst out laughing.
"What's wrong with this? Did a funeral fire break out at home? With a gloomy face, it's ugly to death."
He finally lost a round to her ugliness, and she raised an eyebrow in satisfaction.
Zhao Zhen ignored him and didn't look over for a long time. "The Master said: 'If the gentleman is not serious, he will not inspire awe.'"
"Oh?" Xia Chuqi's eyelid twitched, and she deliberately shuddered. "Gentleman? Haha, you say you're a gentleman, all the pigs in the world are laughing."
Zhao Zhu looked at her, who was inexplicably having a tantrum, and laughed uncontrollably. He furrowed his brow, seemingly too busy to banter with her, and simply instructed, "I have important business to attend to at the Jin Cheng Fu. For the next few days, go visit the Shen Ji Ying camp and take a look at those firearms. The Right General will cooperate with you."
The corner of his mouth twitched, and Xia Chui thought of the issue of using value.
"This thing is too advanced, I'm afraid you can't handle it." Of course, she herself doesn't understand it either. However, in order to increase her own value, she smiled and opened the palm of her hand, "Besides, given our relationship...it's not good to not discuss payment, right?"
"If you work hard, I'll reward you with something."
"Quite righteous!" The extremely seductive low voice made Xia Chuzi's itchy heart from the heart to the sole of the foot, but only lasted for a moment before extinguishing. Thinking about it, would Zhao cheap person give her something valuable? Bullshit! She snorted with an out-of-tune hum.
"Nothing else is needed, just bring two gold bars."
Zhao Zun's face turned dark, "You little woman, so greedy for wealth."
"You're not greedy for wealth, you're just greedy for mine."
At the beginning of summer, two black eyes stared at him, and Zhao Zun glanced at her lightly, then withdrew his gaze, and the noble and elegant body around him seemed to be covered with a layer of cold air, making her feel a chill in her heart. The good mood she had just now disappeared without a trace.
All the way back to the station, no one spoke again.
When he was about to get off the horse carriage, Zhao Zun commanded in a stern tone:
"Wearing the Eastern Blue Sapphire."
"Why is he so handsome?" Xia Chuqi's heart was burning with anger, and she deliberately gave him a flirtatious glance.
"Next time, don't count on me to save you."
"Thanks, no need. You saved me once, I'll return the favor once. As long as you don't harm me, I'll burn incense for you." Xia Chuyi smiled and bowed his head, making a gesture of gratitude that was almost enough to kill someone with its sincerity.
"With so many idle thoughts, it's no wonder you can't grow taller." Zhao Zun turned and left with a cold flick of his sleeve.
"Damn it!"
……
……
If it were up to Zhao Zhu's orders, Xia Qi wouldn't have wanted to go to the Shenji Camp. But if she were to follow her own curiosity, the firearms facilities that had just sprouted in the Cold Arms era still held a considerable attraction for her. So, on the third day after Zhao Zhu left, after playing with the cats and dogs in the courtyard for a while, she got bored and went there leisurely.
It's clear that he has received Zhao Zun's order, and Yuan Xiaogong is indeed very diligent in accompanying him all the way. It has to be said that when he saw those firearms, Xia Chuqi was a bit surprised. The main hot weapons of this era are fire guns, including single-handed hand guns and heavy firepower bowl-mouthed guns. According to Yuan Xiaogong's own boasting, compared to the four countries at this time, the military equipment of the Great Yan Dynasty is considered the best in the world. However, for Xia Chuqi, who has seen modernized weapons and warfare, these things can be directly swept into the garbage heap of history from all aspects such as accuracy, range, and combat effectiveness.
"Cousin." Yuan You hooked up his lips, looking pleased with himself, "How's that?"
Xia Zhong Qi glared at him with a strange expression, "Not good."
The handsome and charming smile of the young master suddenly stiffened.
He has always been fond of studying hot weapons and has some insights in this area. Although he is a right general, the improvement of the hot weapons of the Divine Machine Battalion has a significant part of his credit. Upon hearing this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the extremely powerful "粑粑雷" (a type of explosive) was somehow related to her private interests. He sincerely paid his respects to her.
"Please instruct me, younger sister."
"It's not worth mentioning." Xia Chuqi chuckled and said with a smile, "Because I don't understand it either."
The slightly stiffened young master Yu, looking like he had been struck by lightning, gazed at her sideways and asked, "Playing with me?"
"No, no, no." Xia Chuqi waved his hand and walked away while stroking the row of shiny black firearms. "I'm a doctor, not a veterinarian or an arms expert."
When this sentence was thrown out, Yuan Yu's handsome face almost squeezed out water. She walked over with a cry of laughter and elbowed him, "However, I, Chu Qi, dare to call Xiao Zhuge, naturally have seen many more advanced firearms equipment than these, can give you some advice and reference. But this matter is not overnight, when you are idle, slowly study."
Yuanyou heard that and was frightened out of his wits.
In his heart, a clever and cunning little girl like this would only have the patience to grind with Nineteenth Uncle. If it were someone else, they would pull her onto the kang for a few rounds of exercise, and by tomorrow morning, she would be as obedient as a lamb, saying whatever he told her to say, without all this trouble.
"Unwilling?" Xia Chuqi had no idea what was going on in this person's mind.
"Cousin is right." Yuan Xiao Gongzi raised an eyebrow, with a elegant and refined demeanor of a noble young master, his tone was extremely sincere, "Why don't we eat while chatting?"
Half an hour later, in Yuan Xiaogong's large tent.
"Cousin, where did you see those kinds of weapons? How come when I hear you say that, my heart feels a bit chilly? If such city-destroying and wall-collapsing things really exist, can our Great Yan Dynasty still be as solid as gold?"
Thinking of this, Xia Chuqi chuckled and took a bite of braised beef.
"This lifetime, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to meet again."
Yuan You's heart was itching with curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask her several questions about military equipment and firearms that interested him. Seeing her explain one by one, talking fluently, it really didn't seem like bragging, and he couldn't help but feel a few threads of admiration, at the same time also having some epiphanies, "I finally understand today."
"What?" Xia Chu's eyes widened in surprise.
Yuan Youjun's face piled up with a smile, "Why is my nineteenth uncle so interested in you."
"...At the beginning of summer, on the seventh day, with a piece of braised beef stuck in the corner of his mouth, 'I think I understand now.'"
"What?"
"A scoundrel like you who has killed his wife, why would the King of Jin hold you in such high regard? It turns out that it's because of your expertise in firearms."
"Haha, then we...?" Yuan You raised his cup and took a sip.
"Alright, buddy, cheers." Xia Chuqi clinked his glass against his companion's and took a sip, his eyes narrowing as he asked, "Hey, there's something I don't quite get. Why did His Highness leave the relay station in such a hurry the other day?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, not nice, making things difficult for me." Yuan You raised an eyebrow and gave her a mischievous sideways glance, "If I answer you, won't you just ask again what color of underwear the prince wears, or whether he wipes with his left hand or right hand?"
"Unfriendly......" Xia Qiqi pointed at him, drawing out her tone, "But if you insist on saying it, I don't mind listening."
Yuanyou's face changed, and then changed again. The expression on his face became more and more radiant. "Cousin, it's not that I wouldn't tell you, but rather... if I told you, wouldn't I be offending my nineteenth uncle?"
"Either way is offending someone, why not choose an unknown person to offend?"
Two people, you say one word and I say another, with hidden sharpness.
Yuanyou finally lost, elegantly sipped a mouthful of wine, and smiled unknowingly, "Alright, it's no harm telling you this. My third uncle came to Jincheng Prefecture the other day, originally to pick up the 19th to return to the capital, but unfortunately fell off his horse when he went out of the city yesterday and broke his leg. Emotionally and reasonably, the 19th uncle should go see him."
"Xia Chuqi slightly closed her eyes and said, 'Oh? What a coincidence.'"
Yu Wei laughed with her eyebrows and eyes, "Really, really. Cousin, let's continue to chat, hmm, you mentioned that 54 pistol..."
Summer Seventh accompanied by a smile, casually perfunctory, but in his heart, he was preoccupied. He always felt that Ning Wang's fall and breaking his leg at this time didn't feel right. Now, with the matter of establishing an heir on the imperial court being divided into three parts, it wouldn't be possible for Ning Wang to come all the way to pick up Zhao Zun without another purpose...
Could this matter be related to that Eastern demon?
Don't even mention it, think of something and it comes true.
At dusk, she had just returned to the post house from Shenji Camp and hadn't entered the Western Courtyard yet when a slender and polite Brocade Guard came over and said that Dongfang Qingxuan was inviting her.
The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken; can she go?
