Chapter 159 Chen Jie: Haha, girl, stop struggling (please subscribe)
Xuejie, also known as Gastrodia elata.
It is sweet and mild in nature, and has strong effects of removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding, promoting tissue regeneration and healing sores, and promoting blood circulation and relieving pain.
It is even a main medicine for treating bruises, heart and abdominal pain, and bleeding from external injuries.
Last night, in the battle in the woods, although Chen Jie did not defeat his opponent, he directly slapped his opponent on the chest. The power of that palm was very strong and most people could not withstand it.
However, that person had the strength of Hua Jin, and he finally used his internal force to hold on for a while. But even so, his lungs were injured, so in order to heal this injury, he had to use blood-draining medicine.
And the best one is the best quality among all kinds of blood, dragon's blood.
Of course, there is no dragon's blood, but ordinary blood can be used even if its effect is slightly worse. It is a must and cannot be replaced by other medicines.
So after Chen Jie bought up all the dragon's blood in several nearby counties, the other party had no chance to buy it again.
Especially since their optimal treatment time is only three days. If they could have five or six days, perhaps they could go to a farther place to buy medicine, but three days is not enough.
So they can only take risks and come to rob me, while I can just sit back and wait for them to come and catch them in the trap.
After Xiao Hu heard Chen Jie's instructions, he led people to buy the dragon's blood. At this time, Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, you want to buy all the dragon's blood in the three counties. How much will it cost? Have we used it?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Haha, of course it can be used. Recently, I have thought of a business that can bring a lot of profit to our White Tiger Hall."
"what business?"
Su Yunjin asked, and Chen Jie laughed and said, "Selling golden wound medicine!"
Su Yunjin was stunned, and Chen Jie said, "These days, wars are raging everywhere, and there are murders and robberies everywhere. There are many people injured by swords and knives. If our golden wound medicine is well made, it will be a big business. Especially if a large-scale war breaks out in the future, our golden wound medicine will definitely be the most popular, and the price will double."
"I just happened to get a prescription from my master. It's a top-notch medicine for healing wounds, and in this prescription, this blood clotting drug is an indispensable ingredient. And since this incident happened, I just stocked up some blood clotting drugs."
"This kind of hemostatic drug is the most in-demand drug during war. It won't lose money if you stockpile it."
Su Yunjin heard this and said, "It's fine as long as my husband knows what's going on."
Chen Jie said, "Well, don't worry, ma'am. Oh, I haven't eaten anything this night, and I'm a little hungry. Madam, please prepare something for me."
Su Yunjin said, "Well, good, bring the food to the master quickly."
Chen Jie was stunned and looked at Su Yunjin and asked, "So fast?"
After hearing this, Yin Hongmei said, "Master, Madam was waiting for you all night last night. She heated up the meal over and over again on the stove. I don't know how many times she has heated it up so far."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "My wife, why don't you ever know how to cherish yourself?"
Su Yunjin smiled gently and said, "Husband, it's too hot to eat, don't listen to their nonsense."
How could Chen Jie not understand what kind of person his wife is? This has been going on for a long time. He sighed and said, "Don't do this again in the future. Remember to eat on time."
Su Yunjin lowered his head and said, "Well, I understand. I just can't eat~"
Chen Jie said, "If you can't eat, just force yourself to eat. You are the mistress of the house now. If I am not here, you will be the backbone of the White Tiger Hall. You can't fall down. If you fall down, the White Tiger Hall will fall down. If I come back at that time, the White Tiger Hall will be disbanded, and your husband's foundation will be gone. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, I, I understand."
Chen Jie smiled: "That's right, remember, your body is not only yours, but also mine, and belongs to the White Tiger Hall."
Su Yunjin said, "Husband, that's nonsense. It's not that important."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Of course it's important. You still have to give birth to children for me. In the future, the young master of the White Tiger Hall will have to be taken care of by Madam Su."
Su Yunjin blushed when she heard this and said, "Husband, don't say such embarrassing words. There are so many people here."
Chen Jie looked at the people surrounding him.
The maids Yin Hongmei and Cui Ju are all our family members. As for the little guy, he is sucking on a piece of maltose and eating it happily. After eating, he bites it into small pieces and puts them in the pocket beside him.
Seeing this, Chen Jie was stunned and looked at the little kid and said, "Rui Rui? What are you doing?"
"Eat candy!"
Xiao Douding answered, and Chen Jie said: "I know, I just want to ask you, is the candy you gave me stale?"
The little kid was stunned for a moment, then he looked around and said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law, your piece is not big enough. This one is bigger, and I was afraid that someone else would grab it, so I took a bite."
After hearing this, Chen Jie asked, "Is there anyone else trying to grab it?"
Xiao Douding said: "Of course, classmates in the class often snatch it."
After hearing this, Chen Jie asked, "So miserable? Didn't you tell them that I'm your brother-in-law?"
"I told you, if I hadn't told you, they wouldn't have snatched it away."
"So arrogant?"
Chen Jie frowned. This was too arrogant. Xiao Douding nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah, quite arrogant."
Chen Jie asked: "Who is their leader?"
Xiao Douding said, "Master Hua."
"Ok?"
Hua Sanniang? Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Yunjin. Su Yunjin said, "Sister Hua came to see me a few days ago. She thought our class was interesting, so she took the initiative to take over the martial arts class."
"And she appointed Ruirui as the senior sister on the spot, but it was temporary because Ruirui is your sister. So Sister Hua said that in her martial arts class, no one is allowed to bully the weak, but they can bully the strong."
"For example, if someone beats her until she cries, not only will she not punish him, but she will also reward him."
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam, Ruirui is going to get beaten up, didn't you try to stop him?"
Su Yunjin said with a bitter face after hearing this: "There is no way to stop it, because Ruirui agreed!"
"Huh? You agree?"
Chen Jie looked at Ruirui in surprise. Ruirui said, "I agree. I can fight with anyone except those who are much older than me. For those who are much older, Master said that they can fight with me when I am ten years old. I have learned a lot from Master now."
"By the way, brother-in-law, I am very strong now."
Chen Jie looked at Ruirui, only to see Ruirui reaching out and lifting up the chair next to him with one hand!
Um? ?
Chen Jie was amazed. When did his little cotton-padded jacket become so powerful? This kind of strength was definitely not something a five-and-a-half-year-old child could possess.
Chen Jie looked at Ruirui and asked, "When did you become so powerful?"
Ruirui said: "On that day, when Master Hua said that everyone could bully me, Master Hua secretly gave me a yellowish-brown pill. I ate it, and then she taught me how to breathe. That's how I became like this!"
Chen Jie frowned slightly after hearing this, and Su Yunjin said, "Yes, Tai Sui Dan."
Su Yunjin had taken the Tai Sui Pill, but Ruirui had not. Unexpectedly, Hua Sanniang actually gave her Tai Sui Pill to Ruirui. It seems that this little guy is really loved by Hua Sanniang.
However, at this age, only a small part of the Tai Sui Pill is absorbed, and most of it is wasted. It can only be said that it has laid a good foundation. Chen Jie had previously planned to use other methods to help Ruirui lay the foundation.
But now that Hua Sanniang has chosen to use the Tai Sui Dan, then let’s listen to Hua Sanniang.
No wonder Hua Sanniang said that she allowed everyone in the class to bully Ruirui. You know, the oldest person in the class should be her godson Sun Yong.
Sun Yong should not participate in this round of targeting Ruirui, and he may even take the initiative to protect Ruirui.
Chen Jie thought about it, then looked at Ruirui and said, "Ruirui, why did you agree to your master's idea and accept everyone's targeting?"
Ruirui heard this and said, "Because Master said, as long as I can defeat all of them, I will be their eldest sister, and they will all listen to me from now on. On the contrary, if someone can defeat me and then withstand the attacks of all of us, he can become the eldest brother or eldest sister, and then he can lead us and order us!"
"I want to be the eldest sister and make them all listen to me!"
Ruirui pointed forward with both hands, with light in his eyes.
After hearing this, Chen Jie had to say that Hua Sanniang was really combative. If she wanted to be the eldest sister or eldest brother, she had to defeat everyone by herself and become the undisputed king.
This doesn't sound like a method that can come from a college. On the contrary, Chen Jie has heard of many bandit groups choosing their leaders in this way.
However, Chen Jie didn't think there was anything wrong with it. In troubled times, the first thing a warrior should learn is how to survive.
This way, we can cultivate a group of outstanding talents.
Chen Jie said: "Well, very good, brother-in-law also supports you to be the senior sister."
"Really, thank you, brother-in-law."
Xiaodouding was very happy and she really needed her brother-in-law's encouragement.
Su Yunjin heard this and said, "Husband, is this inappropriate?"
Chen Jie said: "What's wrong with this? In this world, students need to have some wolfish nature."
"This kind of behavior should not only be stopped, but also praised. From now on, this senior sister or senior brother will be the monitor of the class and can assist the teacher in managing the students."
After hearing this, Su Yunjin didn't say much, but just nodded and said, "Then I will obey my husband."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, madam."
The two chatted and laughed as the food was served. Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, I want to tell you something."
Chen Jie said: "Oh, go ahead."
Su Yunjin said, "There will be a temple fair in East City in five days, and lanterns will be lit at night. Ruirui and the others want to go and see the lanterns. Look at us..."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Oh, that's it. Okay, let Xiaohu take you there when the time comes. With a Hua Jin master accompanying you, there shouldn't be any problem with safety."
After hearing this, Su Yunjin said, "Well, I'll have to trouble you, husband."
Chen Jie said, "Well, it's okay. I think so. We have been in Mianshui County for such a long time, and I haven't accompanied you to visit the scenery in the city. We can take this opportunity to see the temple fair and catch up with the excitement. If I have nothing to do that day, I will go with my wife."
"Thank you, husband."
Su Yunjin smiled sweetly.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by Si Xi running in hurriedly. Seeing Chen Jie, he clasped his fists and said, "Master."
"Oh, Sixi, what's the matter?"
After hearing this, Si Xi said, "Master, someone from the Darughachi Mansion came and said they want to invite you to the mansion to discuss matters."
"Come to the mansion to discuss matters?"
Chen Jie was stunned. Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and said, "Husband, will you be okay?"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "No problem, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he stood up. At this time, Su Yunjin said, "Husband, you haven't eaten yet."
Chen Jie turned around and said, "Madam, you guys eat first."
After saying this, Chen Jie took two steps and paused before saying, "By the way, Hongmei, Cuiju, you watch Madam eat. If Madam is not full, you will be punished when she comes back."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Jie turned and left. Hongmei and Cuiju looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam, please eat something, otherwise we will be punished."
Su Yunjin said helplessly: "Okay, I'll eat it..."
Chen Jie left the mansion and immediately said to Si Xi, "Si Xi, you did a good job yesterday. You were able to find Old Monster Liu in time, so I'll credit you for that."
After hearing this, Si Xi said hurriedly: "These are all my duties. I dare not take credit for them. Besides, I have done something wrong..."
Chen Jie laughed and said, "Haha, you always have a burden in your heart, relax a little, our White Tiger Hall is very big, we can accommodate a person who has gone astray, and everyone treats you as a brother."
"Yes, thank you, Master."
Chen Jie patted Sixi's shoulder and said, "You, as long as you remember, you won't go wrong if you do things that benefit your brothers. By the way, Xiaohu will be buying a large amount of dragon's blood in the next few days. Find an empty warehouse to store it."
"Yes, Master, I'll arrange it right away."
Si Xi responded and immediately went to arrange the warehouse.
At this time, Chen Jie followed a group of people and went directly to the Darughachi Mansion.
Soon, Chen Jie arrived at the Darughachi Mansion. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw two horse-drawn carriages, one belonged to Old Monster Liu and the other belonged to Nan Batian.
When Chen Jie saw the two cars, he was also stunned. The two most powerful gang leaders in Mianshui County had arrived.
It seems that there is something important to be discussed in today's meeting.
As he was thinking this, he saw Commander Qimuge come out. Qimuge looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, you are here."
Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Commander Qimuge."
Qimuge said, "Don't be polite, don't be polite, come to our house to talk, the adults have been waiting for a long time."
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately followed Qimugege into the mansion.
Then Lord Yelu was seen fishing by the lake not far away, with Old Monster Liu and Nan Batian sitting next to him. The three of them each had a fishing rod and threw it into the water to fish.
Chen Jie and Qimuge came over, and Qimuge said, "Sir, Chen Jiusi is here."
Upon hearing this, Yelu turned around and glanced at Chen Jie, then immediately waved and said, "Jiu Si, come here quickly."
Chen Jie didn't understand why, but he still quickly went up to him and said, "Sir."
Yelu said, "There is another fishing spot next to Gang Leader Nan. Go over there and fish for a while."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Yes."
As he spoke, Chen Jie came to Nan Batian. Nan Batian turned around and glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si is also very strong and vigorous. How come your subordinate Chen Xiaohu said that he was seriously injured?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately said, "What the gang leader said is right. I also came here because I was sick. By the way, is Mr. Tang awake?"
Nan Batian heard this and said, "Awake."
Chen Jie said: "That's good, that's good."
As the two were talking, Yelu said, "Hey, what are you two whispering about? Speak out so that everyone can hear."
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Master Yelu, it's nothing. My gang leader is concerned about my injury."
Nan Batian glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Yes, Lord Yelu, I am concerned about his injury."
After hearing this, Yelu said, "Oh, I didn't expect you guys to have such a good relationship. By the way, what happened this morning? I heard that many of you died?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Nan Batian. Nan Batian frowned and looked at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie looked at Old Monster Liu again. Old Monster Liu had no expression on his face. Chen Jie said, "Well, it's nothing. It was the Zoroastrian thieves who attacked the Cao Gang. I followed the orders of the Gang Leader to go and help Gang Leader Liu."
"Oh, is that so?"
Yelu looked at Nan Batian, and Nan Batian's expression changed. He then said, "Yes, that's right."
After hearing this, Yelu said, "Well, these Zoroastrians are really too rampant. They have swept through three routes and more than a dozen prefectures in the north. Now the south is also restless. At this time, what we need most is to cooperate with each other and suppress these lawless rebels."
"So these days, I hope there won't be any problems between you. If there is any hatred or resentment, just speak it out in this courtyard today and I will make the decision for him. But if you have any personal grudges outside this mansion, don't blame me for being rude."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. It seemed that Lord Yelu wanted to be the peacemaker today.
That's not right. Lord Yelu usually doesn't care about local conflicts. Why would he say that today?
Could it be that something unexpected happened in the court?
Everyone thought about it, but no one said much, and then Yelu said: "Okay, you can talk about your grievances now."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and remained silent.
They would not be stupid enough to really put their grudges on the table, because they knew that there would be basically no results and they could not accomplish what they needed with Yelu.
So speaking out at this time would not solve any problems, but would only create more problems, so the three of them remained silent. Yelu smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, it seems that everyone has no conflicts. Since there are no conflicts, then I will talk about something serious."
After hearing this, everyone looked at Yelu, not knowing what Yelu was going to say.
Yelu said: "Well, let me tell you, everyone knows about the Zoroastrian rebellion in the north, right?"
Chen Jie and the other two nodded in unison.
The Zoroastrian rebellion in the north was very serious, sweeping across three routes, more than a dozen prefectures, and dozens of counties. The imperial court sent the White Deer Corps, one of the three elite forces, to suppress it, but the effect was not ideal.
The three looked at Yelu, and Yelu said, "Well, I'm sure you've heard some rumors. What I want to tell you is that the court is very angry about the rebellion in the north, especially since the Zoroastrians actually have sophisticated weapons."
"This posed a great threat to the Daqian army. Prime Minister Tuo Tuo Bu Hua was very angry, so he sent inspectors to various places to check whether there were any localities that were secretly communicating with the Zoroastrians and selling ironware to them."
As Lord Yelu spoke, Chen Jie frowned slightly.
At this time, Yelu continued: "At present, the inspectors are already conducting inspections in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and will soon enter our Huguang Road. By then, our Huangzhou Prefecture, including our Mianshui County, will be under the supervision."
"So, I want to tell you that our next focus is to crack down on Zoroastrianism and cut off their roots in Mianshui County!"
"Recently, I have sent Qimuge to capture a group of Zoroastrian rebels and destroyed one of their transportation routes. We have also captured some people. As long as any of these people speak up, we can follow the clues and catch their lair in Mianshui County and destroy it."
"This is to welcome the inspector to our Mianshui County."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Chen Jie then clasped his fists and said, "Master Yelu, we understand what you said. Please give the order. Whether it is to send people or manpower, we will not hesitate!"
Chen Jie patted his chest and said, "After hearing this, Yelu was very happy. This Chen Jiusi is sensible."
Then he looked at Nan Batian and Liu Laoguai, who also expressed their determination: "Sir, please tell me, what should we do?"
After hearing this, Yelu nodded slightly and said, "Very good, if that's the case, then let's talk about the key points."
"Regarding the inspection by the inspector this time, I think our focus should not be on arresting Zoroastrians, but on the smuggling of ironware. The court has made up its mind this time. The inspector has arrested more than a dozen Darughachis all the way south, and three of them have been beheaded."
"This is a very dangerous signal, so for our safety, I racked my brains and thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a perfect plan. Until today, when Boss Liu came to offer advice, I suddenly had an idea and came up with a perfect plan."
After hearing this, Chen Jie and Nan Batian both looked at Old Monster Liu.
Especially Nan Batian frowned at this time, wondering what on earth this old monster Liu was doing.
Chen Jie looked at Old Monster Liu, then remained silent and watched what happened.
Yelu looked at Old Monster Liu and said, "Boss Liu, tell us what you think."
After hearing this, Old Monster Liu said, "Well, this is what I think. Since we are investigating the smuggling of ironware, why not close the Beishan Iron Mine? If no one mines iron, there will naturally be no way to smuggle it. In this way, even if the Zoroastrians have any conspiracy, they will be helpless without iron. This is the perfect plan!"
As soon as these words came out, Nan Batian suddenly turned his head and looked at Old Monster Liu and said, "Old Monster Liu, you are fucking crazy! Beishan Iron Mine is closed, what are you going to let us eat?"
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Liu said calmly, "Brother Batian is right. Although the Beishan Iron Mine is the most important industry in our gang, now is the most critical time and also the most difficult time for Lord Yelu. Although I am not talented, I am willing to share your worries."
"It's just an iron mine. Close it. If I can help Lord Yelu, I will do it for him."
Old Monster Liu looked at Lord Yelu and said, Yelu looked at Old Monster Liu and said, "Boss Liu, you are a kind and righteous person. Don't worry, I will not treat you unfairly after this matter is over."
After hearing this, Chen Jie smiled and said, "Master Yelu, you know me well. I no longer sell iron from my iron mine. Now that you need it, although I am not as righteous as Gang Leader Liu, I am willing to do my best. I will also close my iron mine."
Yelu smiled and said, "Well, Jiusi is also a kind and righteous person."
After saying that, everyone's eyes all looked at Nan Batian, only to see that Nan Batian's face turned pale. "Okay, you are all kind and righteous people, and I am the villain, right? You are noble and great."
Half of my fishing gang's income depends on Beishan Iron Mine. If you just close Beishan Iron Mine without any hesitation, would I dare to do so?
If I close down, our fishing gang will lose at least half of its income, and my brothers will definitely rebel!
But do I dare to say no now?
Old Monster Liu, Chen Jiusi has already expressed his opinion, but you just don’t care about it. What does that mean? Are you so arrogant?
Thinking of this, Nan Batian's face was full of murderous intent, and Yelu also looked at Nan Batian with a warm smile on his face and said: "Boss Nan, you don't have to be embarrassed. This Beishan Iron Mine is indeed very important to you. If you are forced to close it, it would be too inhumane. So you don't have to close it. There is no coercion. It is entirely voluntary."
Seeing Yelu's amiable face, Nan Batian's heart suddenly sank, and he also came to his senses.
Who are you talking to, Nan Batian? The other party is Yelu, the one who can control your destiny. If you act tough with him, you really don’t know how to write the word death.
Thinking of this, Nan Batian immediately forced a smile on his face and said, "Master Yelu, although the Beishan Iron Mine accounts for half of my fishing gang's income, if we stop, our fishing gang will suffer heavy losses, but for the sake of Master, we have no choice but to stop!"
After hearing this, Yelu smiled even more: "Okay, okay, I was right. The three of you are all loyal ministers of my court. In this case, let's make an agreement. Starting tomorrow, all iron mines will stop production. In addition, the inventory in the iron mines will be temporarily sealed by my Darughachi Mansion."
"Wait until the inspector leaves and the iron ore is mined. I will return the iron ore to you. How do you think?"
Chen Jie and the other two looked at each other and said, wow, even the inventory is sealed, very good, very good.
The three of them looked at each other...
The three of them stayed in the Darughachi Mansion for a while and then left.
When they got outside, the three of them looked at each other. Nan Batian said to Old Monster Liu hatefully, "Old Monster Liu, you are really cruel. In order to deal with me, you actually used Feng Tiekuang's move that hurt the enemy by a thousand but hurt yourself by eight hundred. You are really cruel."
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Liu took a look at Nan Batian and said, "Nan Batian, I haven't settled the score with you yet. You actually colluded with Gu Qingfeng to murder my son. I haven't settled the score with you yet. Just wait, I will make you pay the price one day!"
Nan Batian snorted coldly: "Hmph, stop slandering me. Do you have any evidence? You just said that I colluded with Gu Qingfeng. Are the people from your Cao Gang so easy to seduce?"
"Besides, Lord Yelu has said that all previous grudges are written off. You dare to find fault. Aren't you afraid that Lord Yelu will hold you accountable?"
Upon hearing this, Old Monster Liu said coldly: "Haha, write it off in one stroke, do you believe it?"
Nan Batian refused to give in and said, "Lord Yelu asked you to believe it, do you dare not believe it?"
Old Monster Liu squinted his eyes and was about to speak when Chen Jie spoke up, "Haha, two gang leaders, two gang leaders, anger is harmful to your health. What grudges are there? Lord Yelu said that they should be written off, so don't be angry. You two are really angry."
The two of them looked at Chen Jie at the same time, and Old Monster Liu said, "Chen Jiusi, this Nan Batian has repeatedly harmed you, and you are just going to let him go like this?"
Chen Jie heard this and said, "Haha? Gang Leader Nan is testing me, I understand."
Nan Batian looked at Chen Jie and said, "Alas, Jiu Si is still a man of vision, unlike you, an old monster. Jiu Si, you must remember that you are from the Fishing Gang, not the Cao Gang."
Chen Jie immediately said, "Yes, I dare not forget. Then you two, we will take our leave now if nothing else."
After saying that, the three of them turned around and went in different directions.
However, the expressions of the three people were very ugly. Old Monster Liu said, "Nan Batian, the hatred of killing my son is irreconcilable. One day I will kill you with my own hands."
Nan Batian turned his back to the two of them and walked away, his face uncertain, thinking in his heart: "Old Monster Liu, Chen Jiusi, you wait, I will let you live a peaceful life for two days. After this inspector leaves, you will see that I will not deal with you well. I will make you wish you were dead and regret being my enemy."
At this time, Chen Jie had his back to the two of them, with an uncertain expression on his face.
I thought: Yelu wants to turn today into Christmas Eve, but I won’t let him do that. Since we are enemies, there is no question of a truce. The so-called truce is nothing but a cover!
The three of them, each with their own thoughts, turned their backs to each other and slowly walked away.
Chen Jie returned to the mansion like this. The Darughaci Mansion didn't even bother to arrange a meal for him. Of course, Chen Jie couldn't get used to the food served in the Darughaci Mansion. Who could resist Lord Yelu's love for sashimi?
Chen Jie quickly returned home and immediately ate the hand-rolled noodles made by Su Yunjin herself and a fried egg. He had to say that his wife's cooking skills were most to his taste. Even the chef hired at a high price in the mansion could not make such delicious food.
Chen Jie ate and drank his fill, and then Xiaohu came back, with a carriage behind him filled with blood.
Xiao Hu smiled and said, "Brother Jiu Si, according to your instructions, all the blood clotting drugs in the entire Mianshui County are here, and people have been sent to the other two nearby counties."
"It is estimated that the purchase will be completed in the afternoon, and according to your instructions, they will find a place to hide the herbs locally and will not transport them to our Mianshui County."
"To prevent being intercepted during transportation."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Well, it's a good arrangement. The next step is to wait."
"Notify everyone to transport this dragon's blood to Warehouse No. 8."
"Ah, Brother Jiusi, such a swaggering luck."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise why would you do it secretly?"
After saying that, Chen Jie touched his pocket and said to Xiaohu, "Xiaohu, go and take the things to Warehouse No. 8, and call Si Xi to come to me."
"Oh."
Xiaohu responded, and soon Sixi was called over: "Master, you called me."
Chen Jie said: "Well, come on, come with me."
"Ah, where are we going, Master?"
Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Which blacksmith in this city has the best craftsmanship?"
After hearing this, Si Xi said, "That must be the Sun family's blacksmith shop."
"Sun Family Blacksmith Shop?"
Si Xi said, "Well, Master, don't you know? The Sun Family Blacksmith Shop is the largest blacksmith shop in our Mianshui County."
"Their family has been engaged in ironwork for generations, and they have superb ironwork skills. By the way, Master, you should know their head, Sun Tiechui, right?"
Chen Jie was stunned, looked at Si Xi and asked, "Is this Sun Tiechui very famous?"
Si Xi said, "Master, you know there is a blacksmith among your Thirteen Guardians, right?"
Chen Jie was a little dazed when he heard this. He might not know the others, but he was very familiar with the Thirteen Protectors.
Because he is also one of the Thirteen Guardians, and among these Thirteen Guardians there are indeed: the blacksmith, the fisherman, the blind fortune teller, and the eagle, tiger and leopard.
Could it be that the blacksmith here refers to Sun Tiechui?
Si Xi said: "Yes, you must have thought of it. The blacksmith is Sun Tiechui."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Oh, he is so famous. Let's go meet him."
After Chen Jie finished speaking, Si Xi asked, "Master, what do you want to see him about?"
Chen Jie said: "Haha, of course it's forging weapons."
Hearing this, Si Xi said, "Oh, then follow me."
Soon the two arrived in East City.
Mianshui County is divided into four cities: east, west, south and north, and these four cities also have their own characteristics. It is said that the east city is inhabited by the powerful and wealthy, the northwest is inhabited by big gangs, and only the south city is a mixed bag, while the poor common people live in the center.
This is the layout of Mianshui County.
The so-called "East City is inhabited by the powerful and wealthy" refers to the area of East City, where many of the residents are Mulan people. This is the gathering place for Mulan people.
Hence it is called a place full of powerful and wealthy.
Next is the northwest. The west city is the fishing gang, and the north city is the shipping gang. The two northwest cities are home to two big gangs.
Then there is the South City, where all kinds of people gather. Finally, there is the central area, which is the gate of the government, so there is no gang management and a group of ordinary people live here. But can it be good to live next to the gate of the government these days?
They were often drafted into the government offices to serve as soldiers, so they were pitiful people.
The Sun family blacksmith shop was in the East City. When Chen Jie and his companions arrived in the East City, they saw a large blacksmith shop from a distance.
However, the blacksmith shop was closed. However, Chen Jie and the others saw fire coming out of the chimney inside the shop, and it was obvious that they were making iron tools.
Chen Jie asked curiously, "Hey, does the blacksmith's furnace need to be closed when forging iron?"
After hearing this, Si Xi said, "Normally, it's not necessary, but Sun Tiechui may have his own unique skills, and he's afraid that they will be spread to others."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Haha, that makes sense. Go ahead and knock on the door."
Si Xi immediately went forward and knocked on the door.
dong dong dong...
There was a knock on the door, and after a long while someone finally came out to open the door. It was a young man who showed his head and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Chen Jie stepped forward and said, "I am Chen Jiusi, and I am here to pay a visit to Master Sun."
After hearing this, the young man was stunned and said, "You are looking for my master. Wait a minute, I will go and tell the eldest brother."
The young man closed the door and shouted, "Big Brother, the one who came is called Chen Jiusi."
After hearing this, the courtyard suddenly fell silent, and then the eldest senior brother rushed over and said, "You fool, you are the one who called Chen Jiusi, open the door quickly."
With a sound, the waiter immediately opened the door, and Chen Jie walked in. He saw a burly man clasping his fists and saying, "My junior brother is ignorant and doesn't know that Master Chen has come to visit. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
Chen Jie clasped his fists and said in return: "It's all just empty reputation. By the way, Master Sun is here? I want to ask Master Sun to make a weapon."
After hearing this, the eldest disciple said, "Oh, please wait a moment. My master is in the backyard. Sixth son, take Master Chen to have tea in front of the hall."
After hearing this, the young man ran over and said, "Master Chen, please."
Chen Jie walked into the yard. He saw that the yard was very large, with ten blast furnaces for forging iron. Chen Jie walked past the blast furnaces.
Suddenly he stopped and looked at a place where something had fallen.
Chen Jie gave Si Xi a wink, and Si Xi also saw the thing. He was stunned and immediately squatted down and hid the thing in his sleeves.
Chen Jie didn't say anything. At this time, Chen Jie came to the inner hall.
Sit down and brew a pot of tea.
Chen Jie and Si Xi were drinking tea when the eldest disciple came running over to the backyard. They saw a separate small courtyard in the backyard.
At this time, a cough was heard from inside.
cough cough...
A woman coughs.
This was in the courtyard. Sun Tiechui looked at the veiled woman who kept coughing and said, "Alian, are you okay?"
"Ahem, it's okay. I just hurt my lungs and I can't stop coughing. I didn't expect Chen Jiusi to be so strong. I couldn't dodge the last palm strike. You must be careful when you meet him next time. Don't fight with him easily."
After hearing this, Sun Tiechui said, "Well, I understand, but A-Lian, there is something going on now."
"What's going on?"
Sun Tiechui said, "Today I sent someone to buy medicine, but unexpectedly all the blood clotting drugs in the pharmacies in Mianshui County were sold out. We didn't buy any blood clotting drugs, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the medicine for healing. What's your injury?"
After hearing this, the woman said, "All the blood clotting medicine has been sold out? How is that possible? Blood clotting medicine is not a precious medicine."
Sun Tiechui said: "Yes, but they are really sold out. However, your injury cannot be healed without blood stagnation!"
"Ahem...someone must have done this on purpose!"
Sun Tiechui said, "Well, I found out that all the dragon's blood on the market has been bought by the White Tiger Hall."
"Chen Jiusi, haha, it really is Chen Jiusi, I was right, cough cough cough..."
After hearing this, Sun Tiechui looked at the woman and said, "Alian, don't worry. I have sent people to the two nearby counties to buy dragon's blood. It will be back in one day and one night."
After hearing this, the woman coughed violently again and shook her head, saying, "Ahem...Brother Sun, don't waste your energy. Since Chen Jiusi was able to buy out all the blood clotting drugs in Mianshui County, I'm afraid that he has also bought out all the blood clotting drugs in the neighboring counties. He won't give us a chance. Ahem..."
"Alian, no way, Chen Jiusi is so vicious. If that's the case, I will send people to Fucheng to buy them. I don't believe he has even bought out Fucheng."
The woman shook her head and said, "My injury has been delayed for a day. The best treatment time is three days. After three days, cough cough... I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to recover. I can't count on the city. I think Chen Jiusi also knows this."
"Ah, what should we do? Are we just going to wait until your illness gets worse?"
Sun Tiechui said anxiously. After hearing this, the woman was about to speak when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?"
Sun Tiechui asked nervously. Then a voice came from outside the door: "Master, someone wants to see you."
"Who?"
"Chen Jiusi."
"who?!!"
Sun Tiechui suddenly raised his voice by an octave and turned to look outside the door!
I finally finished typing on my phone. It was not easy. Please vote for me. Thank you~
