Chapter 151 Young Master Tonight (8k words for subscription)

"Beaming water to attack sand?"

Xiao Xun looked at Xue Mu in front of him, and asked curiously, "What is it to attack sand with water?"

Xue Mu knew that Pan Jixun of the Ming Dynasty was the first to put forward the river control strategy of "drawing water and attacking sand".

He explained: "In some rivers, if there is a lot of sand, if you fill a bucket of river water, the sand can reach [-]%. If the rain floods in autumn, it can even reach [-]%. Use [-]% of the water to transport [-]% of the sand." , if the water doesn't flow fast enough, the sand will sink to the bottom."

After Xiao Xun heard this, he nodded: "That's true. Most of the rivers in Cangzhou are the Yellow River with river sand."

Then he looked at Xue Mu: "Then what do you mean by beaming water to attack sand?"

Xue Mu replied: "It is to artificially tighten the river channel and use the momentum of the water to impact the sediment at the bottom of the river bed, so as to achieve the purpose of dredging and flood control, but it can only be applied to rivers with relatively large flows."

Xiao Qingyue asked curiously at this time: "If the river is tightened, and then the momentum of the water is used to impact, wouldn't the people on both sides of the river be in danger?"

"So we have to strengthen the dams on both sides, and at the same time, dig diversions to reduce the risk of the main river." Xue Mu added.

He then asked Xiao Xun: "Where did the flood happen?"

"Cangzhou, do you know?" Xiao Xun asked.

Xue Mu shook his head: "Although I don't know the exact location of Cangzhou, we can adapt measures to local conditions based on the upstream and the situation in the north and south. If there is a shortage of water in the north, then the south-to-north water diversion can be made."

"South-to-North Water Diversion?!" Xiao Xun was even more surprised when he heard this new word.

Hearing his shocked tone, Xue Mu thought it was not surprising.

After all, the South-to-North Water Transfer Project was proposed by a great teacher.

Now it is overkill to use it here.

"There is a lot of water in the south, but there is little in the north. It's okay to borrow some water." Xue Mu explained.

Hearing this, Xiao Xun immediately walked into the room.

Xiao Qingyue saw that her father seemed to be frowning, which meant that the problem was solved.

She looked at Xue Mu and said excitedly: "Mr. Xue, you are really amazing. I never thought you would be proficient in flooding."

Xue Mu smiled awkwardly: "In fact, these are the ideas of the ancestors, and I just borrowed them."

"Mr. Xue, you are too modest. I want to draw water to attack sand. No one should have used such methods as South-to-North Water Diversion." Xiao Qingyue then pulled him: "We won't bother Daddy, you come into the room with me, Keep teaching me."

"it is good."

Xue Mu didn't expect that this time, he was familiar with each other.

Xiao Qingyue even took the initiative to hold his hand.

It's not like the old master's daughter.

After all, in his impression, the old gentlemen who can become the Imperial College must be pedantic and inflexible.

Unexpectedly, his daughter was so open.

After closing the door, Xiao Qingyue immediately sat in front of him and said excitedly: "My lord, what are we going to learn today?"

"What do you want to learn?" Xue Mu asked back.

Xiao Qingyue thought for a while and explained: "Why don't you tell me about how to deal with the flood."

"In fact, different places have different methods of water control. Please tell me about the geographical location of Cangzhou first, so that I can learn more about it."

"Okay, that's how it is. Cangzhou is located in a relatively low position. There is a main river named Zhenjiang. There are many residents living near this river. Most of them also fish for a living. It can be said that this The Zhenjiang River has supported many people, but the river has both advantages and disadvantages. Frequent rains often cause embankments to burst, and many victims are homeless for a while.”

at the same time.

In the palace, Zhao Ruoli was thinking about the water control method in Cangzhou.

Looking at the map of Daqing, she drew a circle on the location of Cangzhou.

Then observe the surrounding terrain.

Not long after, she wrote a few words on a piece of white paper.

[Use the water from the Zhen River to lower the river bed, wash away the sand, and repair the dams on both sides. 】

The maid Qing'er at the side handed her a glass of water and reminded her, "Your Highness, it's time for you to drink water."

Zhao Ruoli nodded.

Qing'er asked at this time: "His Royal Highness, are you thinking about the flooding method in Cangzhou?"

Zhao Ruoli replied: "Yes, the floods in Cangzhou have become more and more frequent in the past two years. We must find a fundamental method to completely control the floods."

Qing'er looked at the words written on the paper, and asked curiously: "His Royal Highness, can this water wash sand?"

"As long as the water flow is fast enough, that's fine." Zhao Ruoli explained.

Qing'er said with emotion: "His Royal Highness is indeed extremely intelligent, since she can come up with such a novel method of water control."

Zhao Ruoli said: "Only this method is not enough. It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. It is similar to the method of my two nephews. Your Majesty will not be satisfied."

As she spoke, she looked at the map again.

After watching, she suddenly asked, "Qing'er, I remember your hometown is Ningzhou, right?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

"Frequent droughts?"

"Since Qing'er can remember, it seems that there have been several droughts."

Zhao Ruoli's eyes lit up slightly, and then he said to him: "You will go to the Ministry of Industry later, and ask the people from the Ministry of Industry to show me the records of natural disasters in Ningzhou in the past few years."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Qing'er was about to leave.

At this moment, the maidservant at the door came in: "His Royal Highness, the Imperial Supervisor Xiao Jijiu, Mr. Xiao is asking for an audience."

Zhao Ruoli was curious about what Xiao Xun was talking about at this time?
She nodded: "Let Mr. Xiao come in."

Soon, Xiao Xun walked in.

As early as just now, after he wrote a note, he immediately entered the palace.

When he came to the eldest princess' bedroom, he offered it with both hands, and said, "Your Highness, the eldest princess."

Zhao Ruoli was a little surprised at this moment.

She asked: "Sir, have you found a way to deal with the flood in Cangzhou?"

"Exactly." Xiao Xun replied.

Zhao Ruoli looked at Qing'er and asked her to bring up the notebook.

After being able to open the booklet, Qing'er who was behind her was a little surprised and said, "His Royal Highness, Master Xiao is just as you thought, washing the sand with water."

Zhao Ruoli nodded and looked at the content on the booklet.

【Water will slow down, slow down, and the sand will stop, and the river will be full when the sand stops, and the size of the water will have a sandy surface, only to see its height.

If the water is hydrated, the momentum will be strong, if the momentum is strong, the sand will brush, and if the sand brushes, the river will be deep, and the water that is as long as ten feet has the bottom of the river, so you can only see its humbleness.

Build embankments to restrain the water and attack the sand with water. If the water does not overflow on both sides, it will brush straight to the bottom of the river.A certain principle, an inevitable trend, the reason why this combination is stronger than division. 】

[This is the method of beaming water and flushing sand. 】

After reading it, Zhao Ruoli didn't have much expression on her face.

But she looked at Xiao Xun and said with relief: "Sir, this method is strange, I was thinking about it just now."

Xiao Xun laughed happily: "It seems that Her Royal Highness is quick-witted, and she immediately thought of how to control the water."

"However, this method of beaming water to wash sand can be said to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. If one day, there are more and more sand piles on the river bed, wouldn't it mean that the dams on both sides of the river will be built higher and higher?" Zhao Ruoli asked back.

At this time Xiao Xun took out the second brochure: "His Royal Highness, this is another method of water control."

Qing'er then went down and brought up the notebook.

Zhao Ruoli looked at the content on the brochure, and when she saw the words "South-to-North Water Transfer", she frowned slightly.

Because before that, she had noticed that the north of Cangzhou was Ningzhou, which was hit by drought before.

If the water in Cangzhou is transferred to Ningzhou.

One can separate some of the main rivers of Cangzhou.

Second, coming to Ningzhou also reduces the possibility of drought.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Zhao Ruoli looked at the contents of this brochure and sighed, "I never thought that Mr. Xiao could come up with such a novel idea."

Xiao Xun said at this time: "Actually, this method is not what the old minister thought of."

"Oh?" Zhao Ruoli was a little curious: "Could it be Qingyue?"

"No." Xiao Xun smiled awkwardly: "It's actually Qingyue's teacher."

Zhao Ruoli was a little surprised when she heard this, and she continued to ask: "Is that the young master I saw at the door of the room that day?"

"Exactly." Xiao Xun replied: "Today he came to the mansion to teach Yue'er, and Qingyue saw that I was thinking about the flood control in Cangzhou, so she went to ask for advice, and these two methods are also clear. It was proposed by Mr. Yue’s teacher.”

He also said with some embarrassment and shame: "Unexpectedly, I have been teaching for dozens of years, and I am not even as good as a young man."

Zhao Ruoli quickly comforted: "Sir, don't blame yourself. Doesn't this just show that our Daqing is full of talents, one generation after another?"

After hearing this, Xiao Xun also nodded cheerfully: "Indeed."

Zhao Ruoli then asked: "Who is the name of Qingyue's teacher, sir, do you know?"

"It's called Xue Mu."

"Xue Mu."

Zhao Ruoli couldn't help but read aloud.

She looked at Xiao Xun: "You don't need to tell him about this for now, I will be very grateful to him in the future."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, the old minister will leave first."

"Qing'er, send Mr. Xiao off."

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess..."

Not long after, Xiao Xun left the bedroom.

Qinger also returned to Zhao Ruoli's side.

At this time, Zhao Ruoli said: "Qing'er, go find General Meng Zhi and ask him to investigate this man named Xue Mu."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness."

After Qing'er left.

Zhao Ruoli looked at the booklet in his hand again, and the content on it echoed the horizontal line he had just drawn on the map.

For some reason, she suddenly recalled the scene of Xue Mu throwing the pot that day.

"Xue Mu."

Of course Xue Mu didn't know that the method he casually mentioned for flood control had already been written into the memorial by Zhao Ruoli, and he planned to use it when he went to court the next day.

After he gave Xiao Qingyue a popular science on the method of South-to-North Water Diversion, it was getting late, so he was going to go home.

Back home, it happened that Leng Mei and Xu Ruyan had prepared meals.

"My lord, are you back?" Xu Ruyan said happily.

Xue Mu was curious: "What kind of food did you cook today?"

Leng Mei explained: "There is something you like to eat."

"Oh? Really? Then I have to taste it."

After speaking, Xue Mu sat down.

Xu Ruyan took a piece of meat for him and explained: "Master, you've been too busy recently, eat more."

"You guys eat too, so it's inconvenient for me to pick up your bowls, after all, I can't see your bowls." Xue Mule snorted.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Leng Mei said on purpose: "Actually, it's pretty good. You won't see us, so you won't dislike us in the future."

Xu Ruyan also nodded: "That's right, if the young master's eyes are healed, if I don't agree with the young master's wishes, then it will be miserable."

Xue Mu couldn't laugh or cry: "You guys still don't want my eyes to be good, do you?"

"Of course not. It's just that the young master will definitely become a high official in the future. It is inevitable that there will be more beautiful women like Yan around him. At that time, I am afraid that the newcomer will win the old one." Xu Ruyan tentatively.

Xue Mu knew that these two girls teamed up to test him tonight.

He once again resorted to the scumbag quotes: "I, Xue Mu, even if I regain my sight in the future, I will never abandon Ru Yan and Sister Leng. If I violate my oath, I will hit you five times a day."

Familiar words, familiar plot.

Familiar next step.

Sure enough, both Xu Ruyan and Leng Mei picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into Xue Mu's mouth.

The two of them said in unison: "Bah, bah, bah."

Xue Mule said: "You should trust me now."

"Believe it~"

"Come, come, I'll get you an extra piece."

After dinner, Xue Mu sneaked into Xu Ruyan's room while Leng Mei was returning to her room.

Seeing him coming, Xu Ruyan blushed slightly.

She then asked, "Young Master, do you want it tonight?"

Xue Mu sat down, hugged her in his arms, smelled the light fragrance on her neck, and said, "We'll talk about those things later, now we have business to do."

"What's the business?" Xu Ruyan felt that Xue Mu's entry into her room at night was only a business.

Xue Mu explained: "The first and second volumes of "The Romance of the West Chamber", we earned a total of nearly 1000 taels, then we will take advantage of the victory to pursue and publish another story book."

Xu Ruyan was a little surprised: "Mu Lang, can you write another script?"

"Of course."

Xue Mu explained: "As long as you want to write, you can write continuously."

Xu Ruyan said quickly: "Then Mu Lang, tell me quickly, I'll write it down."

"This story is called "A Dream of Red Mansions"."

"A Dream of Red Mansions?"

"Ah."

Xue Mu knew that as soon as "Dream of Red Mansions" came out, it would definitely attract countless big daughters.

The novel takes the rise and fall of the four families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue as the background, takes the wealthy son Jia Baoyu as the perspective, and takes the tragedy of love and marriage between Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai as the main line.

It depicts the various life styles of some beauties in the boudoir, showing the true beauty of human nature and beauty of tragedy.

It can be said to be an epic work that shows the beauty of women and the various aspects of ancient Chinese society from various angles.

As the saying goes.

There are three kinds of people whose money is best earned.

Women, the elderly and children.

Among them, as long as women's minds are captured, they must be crazy.

Xue Mu even thought about it, updating the chapters twice a week, encountering climactic plots, and even breaking chapters occasionally.

When the time comes, those rich ladies may be tickling their hearts.

Not only that, this "Dream of Red Mansions" can also make countless literati fall into reverie.

You know, anyone can take this book except Grandma Liu.

Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin, Qin Keqing, Shi Xiangyun, etc.
Presumably, it will also stir up discussions among the literati in the capital.

"When the Nuwa family smelted stones to mend the sky, they smelted 24 pieces of stubborn stones with a height of 500 feet and a square diameter of [-] feet on Wuji Cliff in the Dahuang Mountain. The Emperor Wa only used [-] stones. [-] yuan, only one piece was left unused, and it was discarded at the foot of Qinggeng Peak in this mountain."

Relying on his own memory, Xue Mu slowly told the story of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Xu Ruyan was immersed in the story while recording.

The next morning, Xue Mu woke up on tiptoe.

Last night, Xu Ruyan pestered herself to finish all the first ten chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Talked until late at night to get it done.

Xu Ruyan also said that she had never heard such a wonderful story before.

She firmly believes that this storybook must be loved by many daughters.

Xue Mu naturally knew it too.

Seeing that Xu Ruyan still wanted to hear, he hugged her to bed.

Attention suddenly shifted.

Therefore, he got up gently, for fear of waking up Xu Ruyan who was still sleeping soundly.

After all, this girl was spoiled by him last night.

After getting dressed, he came out.

After walking out of the house and stretching himself, Xue Mu walked in the direction of the publication.

During the publication, Zhou Qingshan, shopkeeper Zhou, was taking care of the scriptbook in front of the door.

Then a figure came in front of him.

As soon as he raised his head, he immediately became excited: "Ah Gui, you are finally here, but you have been waiting for me anxiously."

Xue Mu smiled, and then said: "Shopkeeper Zhou, long time no see."

"Yeah, you know it's been a long time since you gave me the second volume of "The Story of the West Chamber", you haven't been here again, and you didn't even take the profit. No more."

Xue Mu explained: "I've been a little busy recently, so I've delayed for a while. Besides, I also believe in the character of shopkeeper Zhou. It's not bad for a while."

Zhou Qingshan said helplessly: "You are not bad for a while, but I am short, you don't know that since the second volume of "The West Chamber" was sold, countless rich ladies want to know the author of this novel. Who is it, they block my door every day, it can be said that I am miserable."

Xue Mu smiled: "Didn't the boss' business get better and better that week?"

"They just love to read the stories about your young lady. They don't even bother to read other novels now. Agui, tell me honestly, do you have a new story when you come to my place today?"

Xue Mu nodded: "Indeed, shopkeeper, this is my lady's new manuscript."

"Since there is a new manuscript, I have to take a good look at it." Before taking the manuscript, he even wiped his hands with his clothes so as not to spoil it.

Xue Mu waited calmly at the side.

Although he couldn't see Zhou Qingshan's expression clearly, judging from his tone, he could already feel how interested the shopkeeper Zhou was in the first two chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions".

I saw Zhou Qingshan holding the manuscript and asked excitedly: "Ah Gui, does this manuscript have the name of the novel?"

"It's famous, it's called A Dream of Red Mansions."

""Dream of Red Mansions". Feeling good, are there only these two manuscripts?"

"Yes, my lady said that from now on, this novel will be published serially, with a chapter every three days." Xue Mu replied.

Zhou Qingshan realized it all at once, and he immediately said: "That's good, a chapter every three days, attracting those rich ladies is enough to make them linger."

Zhou Qingshan also knew the gold content of this novel, and he then took the initiative to say: "Well, to show my sincerity, I decided to make a profit of [-] cents this time, and I will give you [-] cents."

"Oh? Shopkeeper Zhou, are you so generous this time?"

Zhou Qingshan smiled, and explained embarrassingly: "The main reason is that I am afraid that you have chosen other publications. If it is based on the sales situation of "The Romance of the West Chamber", then this "Dream of Red Mansions" may only sell more popular. If I succeed, I can earn a lot of silver."

"If that's the case, then it's settled."

Soon, the manuscript was handed over to Shopkeeper Zhou.

The contract is signed.

The silver that was divided last time was also settled.

Xue Mu can be said to have made a lot of money and left.

As soon as he walked out of the issue, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"I said Lao Jia, don't follow me, I finally made it out."

Another middle-aged man laughed and said: "Young lord, this lord has said that when you go out, the villain must follow."

"It's really boring." The young man shook his sleeves, and then strode forward.

He took a closer look and looked at the thief who was about to steal something not far away, and immediately yelled: "Little thief! Don't run away!"

With that said, he rushed over.

That old Jia's mood changed immediately, and his eyes became extremely sharp.

Although he yelled "Little Prince, don't run away", he was always alert to the surrounding situation.

Just one movement of his, Xue Mu analyzed it from the insight of his sight.

This butler is definitely a master.

Although the tone of his conversation was different from what he had just said, maybe it was just a faux pas.

Last time, Xue Mu had already guessed that this young man must not be simple.

Otherwise, the servants around him would not be masters.

On the other side, after Zhao Jingyan caught the thief, he said angrily: "You brat, how dare you steal money from someone in front of my lord."

The thief was a little guilty, but he still insisted: "I didn't, where did you steal it, what evidence do you have?"

Zhao Jingyan replied: "I saw you steal it with my own eyes, and the money bag is in your arms."

At this time, the owner of the stolen purse also rushed over, and said angrily, "You stole my silver taels, so hurry up and return the purse to me."

The thief still refused to let go and said: "If you can find the money bag on me, I will let you deal with it!"

"Okay, that's what you said, you bastard!" Zhao Jingyan said, and grabbed his clothes.

He frowned, and then grabbed at the sleeves again.

But after groping for a while, he couldn't find the money bag on him.

When the thief saw this, he said angrily: "You accused me of stealing money without proof. I want to report to the government and sue you all to the government."

At this moment, the housekeeper Lao Jia stepped forward and said, "What are you! Believe it or not, I will smack you!"

The thief immediately yelled: "I've been beaten! I've been beaten!"

When Zhao Jingyan heard this, he was a little anxious: "You! Shut up! We didn't beat you! Let's talk about the evidence!"

The owner seemed a little nervous, and now he couldn't find the purse on the thief's body. If he reported it to the police, he would only sue himself for wronging him.

The owner quickly asked Zhao Jingyan: "Young master, did you really see him stealing my purse?"

Zhao Jingyan immediately said: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, but it's strange that he doesn't have a purse on him."

He glanced back at the housekeeper and asked, "Old Jia, do you know where he hid the money bag?"

The butler shook his head and said, "My lord, the villain doesn't know."

At this time, the situation on both sides seems to be slowly turning around.

The thief became more and more arrogant, and he even said bluntly: "If you can't find the money bag, I will report to the police, unless you are willing to compensate me."

"To compensate you for your size, you are stealing money." Zhao Jingyan decided.

"Then you should find evidence."

At this time, the person behind the thief suddenly said: "You jump now."

The thief froze for a moment, looked back at Xue Mu, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Xue Mu replied calmly: "You jump now."

"Why should I listen to you?"

"Didn't you say that you only need to find the money bag? You just need to jump, and I can find the money bag."

The thief felt guilty all of a sudden, he faltered: "If you tell me to dance, I will dance, where will the face of the young master be put?"

Zhao Jingyan took out a token and said angrily: "My lord is King Jing, I order you to dance for me now."

The thief never expected that the young man in front of him turned out to be King Jing.

He suddenly became frightened, and had no choice but to jump a little.

At this time Xue Mu reminded: "You dance again."

The thief just wanted to get angry, but Zhao Jingyan waved the token again.

There is no way, the thief can only follow suit.

This time, he jumped a little more.

At this time Xue Mu replied: "The money bag is inside your shoe."

The owner was very surprised.

Zhao Jingyan immediately said to the butler, "Old Jia, help me take off this man's shoes immediately."

"Okay, my lord."

As he said that, Lao Jia came to hold down the thief firmly, and took off his shoes.

The thief was very flustered. He kept rolling and struggling, "What on earth are you trying to do? Let me go, don't think that you are a prince and you can bully the people at will."

Zhao Jingyan also did it himself. While dragging his shoes, he reminded: "As King Jing, I have never bullied the common people. Remember it!"

The next second, the shoes were taken off.

The purse fell to the ground.

There was a bang bang sound.

The owner quickly picked it up and said happily, "This is my purse, it's mine."

Zhao Jingyan looked at the housekeeper and said, "Old Jia, hurry up and report to the police, and arrest this man."

"okay!"

Zhao Jingyan looked at the thief triumphantly: "I'm asking you now, you still have something to say."

The thief looked nervous and didn't know how to explain it.

In the end, he was taken to the government by the housekeeper Lao Jia.

At the same time, Zhao Jingyan turned around and found that Xue Mu was about to leave.

He hurriedly followed.

"Mr. Xue, I didn't expect that we are really destined. Last time I was stolen, you helped me. This time we teamed up and caught another thief."

Xue Mu smiled, and then said: "Actually, Mr. Zhao has sharp eyesight, and he saw through that thief's cunning methods at once."

"By the way, Mr. Xue, there is one thing I don't quite understand, that is, how did you know that he put the money bag in the shoe?" Zhao Jingyan knew that Xue Mu's eyes couldn't see, so it couldn't be that he saw it with his own eyes, right? ?
Xue Mu explained: "When he was running just now, there was a sound of copper coins on his body, which means that he must have a money bag on his body. Mr. Zhao has searched all over his body, so only the money hidden in his shoes is left. .”

Zhao Jingyan was also surprised when he heard this.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xue's thinking to be so meticulous. I admire you very much. I don't know if Mr. Xue can do me a favor and make a friend with me."

Xue Mu actually already knew that he was the prince.

In the past, he was not strong enough, and he always wanted to fight to the end.

But now I have the opportunity to get to know some so-called backers.

At that time, even if something goes wrong, someone can cover it up.

So he cupped his hands and said, "It's my fate that Xue Mu is able to know a righteous person like Mr. Zhao."

"Okay, then it's settled. Hey, by the way, I happen to be going to Guiyuelou for tea. Would you like to come with Mr. Xue?"

Xue Mu replied: "Young Master Zhao, I still have to go to duty, I can only wait for another day."

"I don't know where Mr. Xue is high?" Zhao Jingyan asked.

"God Detective Division." Xue Mu didn't hide anything, and said directly.

When Zhao Jingyan heard this, joy appeared on his face.

Just at this time, the butler Lao Jia trotted over. He clapped his hands and said, "My lord, the thief has already been sent to the government."

"Old Jia!"

"The little guy is here."

"Go to the God Detective Department, find Nangong Xue, tell me that I have something to do with Xue Mu, and ask her to approve a half-day leave."

"Ah?" The housekeeper, Old Jia, was taken aback.

"Ah what, hurry up."

As he said that, Zhao Jingyan put his arm on Xue Mu's shoulder and said, "It's okay, I know your boss Nangongxue well, and based on my friendship with her, it's fine."

Seeing that Zhao Jingyan was about to leave, Lao Jia quickly said, "Hey, little prince, don't leave the villain behind."

"You go to the God Detective Department first, and then go to Guiyue Tower to find me!! Hurry up!!"

Zhao Jingyan looked at Lao Jia, frowning and trying to get angry.

But Lao Jia ran away in a hurry.

"This guy! He escaped very quickly." Zhao Jingyan was speechless.

Xue Mu asked curiously at this time: "My lord, do you know Nangong Xueqianhu?"

Zhao Jingyan was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Do you know that I am the prince?"

"When the prince was holding the token just now, I was on the field. Although I couldn't see it, I could hear it." Xue Mu smiled.

Zhao Jingyan was embarrassed: "I forgot about this."

He then waved his hand and said, "In the future, we can just call each other by name, and we don't need to be called princes."

"Then how did Mr. Zhao know Nangong Xueqianhu?" Xue Mu asked.

"Ham, Nangongxue, she lived in my house for a while when she was a child, and something happened to her house at that time, and my father and her father were considered life-and-death friends." Zhao Jingyan replied.

Xue Mu suddenly realized: "So that's the case. If you say that, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Nangong have known each other since childhood."

"I don't know each other. This girl has been cold since she was a child. She is not close to anyone except my mother. When I accidentally dropped her sword on the ground, she unexpectedly." Zhao Jingyan suddenly felt that the following story belonged to him. The embarrassing thing happened, so he changed the subject: "We won't mention her anymore, let's talk about Mr. Xue, I have also been to the Shenhun Division before, why haven't I seen you?"

"I have just been in the God Detective Division for about a month."

"I see. By the way, have two or three major cases occurred in the capital recently?"

"That's it."

"It's just right, let's go to Guiyue Tower and talk about it slowly, does the young master like beautiful women?"

Xue Mu smiled: "Why did Mr. Zhao say that?"

"If Mr. Xue likes beauties, I'll let the bustards of Guiyue Tower ask their oirans to accompany us to drink, but I see Mr. Xue is a good-looking talent with extraordinary temperament, so I think we shouldn't."

"Ahem." Xue Mu interrupted at this moment: "Actually, I have a predestined relationship with Mr. Zhao, so I can spend more time chatting, and I can also ask some courtesans to pour wine for us, so as to save these trivial time."

"Mr. Xue is right! Then let's ask the three oirans to pour wine for us!!"
