Alien Super Search

Chapter 150: Invitation

When a call came, Xia Zhanhong stopped, turned around, and saw a carriage coming out from the corner of the street, and quickly arrived in front of him.

The carriage stopped, and a servant jumped down from the shaft, bowed to Xia Zhanhong and said, "Young Master Xia, Master Ji has set up a banquet in Furui Building, and asked the villain to come and pick you up!" He took a token and handed it over.

Xia Zhanhong glanced at Jia Ding, and reached out to take the token, only to see the two words "Zong Xun" protruding from the palm-sized golden token.

"Did Master Ji Chen not dine in the Pavilion of Rare Treasures?" Xia Zhanhong raised his head and asked softly.

The servant replied: "As soon as you left, Lord Ji Chen left!"

"Okay! Just wait for me, I'll put my things home and come out right away!" With that said, Xia Zhanhong turned and pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in.

Soon, Xia Zhanhong came out in casual clothes, got into the servant's carriage, and went straight to Ruifu Building.

In the private room No. [-] on the second floor of Ruifu Building, Ji Chen was sitting alone, holding a teacup, with a pensive look on his face: "I really didn't expect that Xia Zhanhong would be able to refine the Ten-Bow Crossbow by himself... Since he joined the intermediate agency, It means that he is not someone from the Pavilion of Rare Treasures! I am afraid that the token came from another source. This way, it will be easy to deal with... just happened in the Ordnance Bureau, and it is the time when people are most needed. Pulling him in, Third Uncle was so anxious that he jumped up..."

Just as Ji Chen was thinking, there was a knock on the door: "Master Chief Inspector, Mr. Xia is here!"

"Yeah!" Ji Chen raised his head, put the teacup on the table, looked at the door, and said calmly, "Come in! Go and order the waiter to serve!"

"Yes!" There was a reply from outside the door, and they walked away quickly!Immediately the door was pushed open, Xia Zhanhong strode into the room, came to Ji Chen, cupped his hands together: "Master Ji Chen..."

Ji Chen raised his hand and stopped Xia Zhanhong: "You don't need to be polite, little friend Xia, please sit down quickly, we haven't seen each other for a while, let's have a good drink or two later! Today you have been selected as the intermediate agent of the Pavilion of Miraculous Treasures, and this banquet is Congratulations to you!"

"Thank you, Master Ji!" Xia Zhanhong clasped his hands again, flicked his hem, and sat down on the chair opposite Ji Chen.

Ji Chen looked at Xia Zhanhong who was facing him, and said with a chuckle: "Xia Xiaoyou, in today's mid-level agent selection, the double refining of alchemy is really amazing! With your level, refining innate items is probably not a problem... "

Xia Zhanhong chuckled, and said, "Master Ji Chen has won the prize. At my level, how can I dare call it miraculous... As for innate items, I have never even thought about it!"

As soon as Xia Zhanhong finished speaking, the servant's voice came from outside the door: "My lord, your food and drink are ready!"

"En! Bring it in!" Following Ji Chen's order, the door opened, and the two waiters brought up dishes one by one.

After the buddy quit, Ji Chen, regardless of Xia Zhanhong's obstruction, filled his wine glass with his own hands, then served the wine and said, "Come on! Xiaoyou Xia, I'll toast you!" He raised his neck and poured the whole glass of wine into his mouth.

After Xia Zhanhong also finished the wine in the glass, the two of them pushed the glass to change and drank slowly.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, seeing that he was almost done eating and drinking, Ji Chen gently put down his wine glass, and finally got to the point: "Xia Xiaoyou, I called you here today. Besides congratulating you and reminiscing about the past, there is also a I need to discuss things with you!"

"Oh!" Xia Zhanhong's expression was indifferent. He obviously knew that Ji Chen had other matters. He put down his chopsticks and said slowly, "Master Ji Chen has something to say!"

Ji Chen nodded, and then his expression changed, and he said solemnly: "Okay! Then I'll be straightforward...Little friend, I want to invite you to join the Imperial Army and work in the Ordnance Bureau. I don't know what you want? "

Hearing this, Xia Zhanhong frowned, showing hesitation.It is true that his purpose is to enter the Military Ordnance Bureau, but the identity of the commander is what he cares most about!If he didn't have this status, even if Su Yuexiang would help in the future, he would still have to climb up from the bottom, captain, guard, and captain, little by little.In the previous life, it took Tang Mingxuan nearly a hundred years to reach the position of the palm print of Dongling Province.

Seeing Xia Zhanhong's hesitation, Ji Chen continued: "Little friend, our Ordnance Bureau refines the ten-linked crossbow, which uses ordinary materials, and usually it will be damaged after two or three times.

Xia Zhanhong nodded, and said softly: "I know this. The materials are different, and the items produced are also different. Although they are all called ten-linked crossbows, there is still a huge difference between natural materials and ordinary materials..."

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "My little friend understands, that's the best! If you have any requests, just ask me! I will try my best to satisfy you!"

Xia Zhanhong thought for a while and said, "Master Ji, do you think this is good? After three months, I will join the Ordnance Bureau!"

"Yeah!" Ji Chen was slightly taken aback, and asked in confusion, "Little friend, why do you have to wait until after March?"

Xia Zhanhong said quietly: "In March, the once-in-ten-year battle for leadership will begin. When I win the position of commander, I will go to the Ordnance Bureau!"

"So you thought..." Ji Chen looked stunned, and then said: "The military regulations of the imperial army have never been changed, and I really can't help you get this position of commander... But, you Can I get a job in the Ordnance Bureau first?"

Xia Zhanhong thought for a while, and asked with a puzzled face: "Master Ji, in such a hurry, is it the Ordnance Bureau..."

Ji Chen glanced at Xia Zhanhong, paused for a moment, and then sighed softly: "Just after the Chinese New Year, the Ordnance Bureau was attacked, not to mention that the design of the Ten-Bow Crossbow was taken away. He was also attacked and killed... Now my third uncle, the Grand Marshal of the Dynasty, Ji Huanyu, Prince of Dingshan, is forcing me to find someone for him!"

"Ah! After the Chinese New Year, those men in black on the street..." Xia Zhanhong immediately remembered the scene he encountered when he came back from the Pavilion of Strange Treasures that day.

"Oh? You were there that day!" Ji Chen nodded, and said helplessly, "In the end, that Xiantian ran away and didn't catch up... These years have been so peaceful. No one would have thought that someone would dare to be in the capital. Do it, but in the end you suffered such a big loss!"

Xia Zhanhong sat there quietly thinking for a while, and finally said: "Master Ji, it's fine to have a name in the Ordnance Bureau, but I won't go there, which parts need to be refined, you can ask someone to deliver the materials to my home, and then Just tell me the quantity!"

When Ji Chen heard this, a smile appeared on his serious face: "That's good, that's good... All the parts you make are calculated as ten blue crystals per piece, how about it?"

Xia Zhanhong nodded lightly and said, "Okay! No problem! They are all ordinary materials, and the price is already not low!"

Ji Chen smiled with great satisfaction, and stood up: "Okay, let's make a deal like this! I will send your name to the military department tomorrow, and register in the Ordnance Bureau!"

"Then there is Mrs. Lao Jichen! It's not early today, so the junior will leave first. Thank you for your hospitality tonight!" Xia Zhanhong got up, thanked Ji Chen, and was about to walk towards the door.

"Wait a minute! My friend, I have something else to do!" Ji Chen seemed to suddenly remember something, and called Xia Zhanhong again.

Xia Zhanhong paused, stopped, turned around and said, "Master Ji, please tell me!"

"Little friend, can you sell the ten-linked crossbow you refined today..." As he spoke, Ji Chen thought for a while and said, "I'll give you [-] blue crystals!"

Xia Zhanhong chuckled, and said, "How can this ten-linked crossbow be worth so much money? If Master Ji likes it, just take it and treat it as my gift to you!"

"No!" Ji Chen said with a straight face, "In the entire Tianyan Continent, there are not many ten-linked crossbows made entirely of natural materials. I bought them with [-] blue crystals, which is already a bargain... …Three Acupoint Opening Pills can be auctioned off for this price!”

The two argued for a few times, and seeing that Ji Chen insisted on giving the money, Xia Zhanhong nodded and agreed, "Well, Master Ji will send someone to my house tomorrow to pick it up!" Afterwards, Xia Zhanhong said goodbye and left the private room.

When Xia Zhanhong's figure disappeared, Ji Chen suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled sinisterly: "Third Uncle! I'll see if I'm not hungry for you tomorrow..."

When Xia Zhanhong returned home, it was already dark, but when he entered the courtyard, he found that the lights in his father's room were still on.

Regardless of going back to his room first, Xia Zhanhong walked to his father's door, knocked lightly twice, and whispered, "Father! Haven't you rested yet?"

"Squeak!" The door opened, Xia Chengzong walked out from the door, and quickly asked: "Zhan Hong, how are you?"

Xia Zhanhong nodded with a smile and said, "Successfully selected as a middle-level agent...Father, you go to bed first, everything will be discussed tomorrow morning!"

After hearing this, Xia Chengzong's face immediately showed joy: "Okay! Let's talk about it tomorrow. You have been tired all day, so go to bed earlier!"

Early the next morning, just as Xia Zhanhong woke up, the family servant came to report, and Ji Chen sent someone to the house.

"Master Ji is really in a hurry!" Xia Zhanhong sighed, and after hurriedly washing up, he took out the ten crossbow, went to the front hall, and handed it to the sergeant sent by Ji Chen.

The sergeant scored ten shots, then handed Xia Zhanhong a big bag, turned around and left in a hurry without saying anything.

Looking at the bag and pondering for a moment, Xia Zhanhong ordered his servants to ask Xia Yubing and Xia Dingkun to go to his father's room, then picked up the bag and walked to the backyard.

In the backyard, Xia Chengzong, who had just woken up, was punching in the courtyard. Seeing his son coming in with a big cloth bag, he quickly stopped his punches!He took a step forward and asked, "Zhanhong, what did you take?"

Xia Zhanhong laughed and said, "Father! Let's talk in the house!"

The two had just entered the room when Xia Yubing walked in with Xia Dingkun on his arm.

Gently closing the door, Xia Zhanhong asked his father, siblings to sit down, and then opened the bag, revealing a large bag full of blue crystals.

"Ah! So much money!" Xia Yubing exclaimed, his eyes lit up immediately.

Xia Zhanhong looked at his younger sister and said with a smile: "Yubing, didn't you always want to open a shop, now you can!"
