Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 136 If the money is not used to develop armaments, it will be treated as war reparations.
"Guanguan Jujiu, in the continent of the river. A fair and fair lady, a gentleman is very good."

On the way back to the wing, Xia Zhiqing recited this poem softly, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.

As the most talented woman in Qingzhou, Xia Zhiqing understood the meaning of this poem after reading it several times. No matter how she read it, it described a man's affectionate pursuit of a girl.

In addition, Chen Mo read it to her, asked her to write it, and asked her to compose it. Xia Zhiqing immediately misunderstood that he was writing it to her.

"Who do you think I am? It's impossible for me to like you if you treat my sister like this." This is Xia Zhiqing's inner voice. It is impossible for her to be tempted by the favor of her sister's enemy.

"But this poem is so well written. For the sake of my sister, I'd better write the tune seriously." She folded the paper with the poem on it and put it in her arms.

When she returned to the wing, Xia Zhining had already put on her clothes and looked at her with a pair of cold eyes.

Xia Zhiqing felt a little panicked for no reason, and said warmly: "Zhining, it's all my fault that I wasn't there just now, so you were bullied by him again."

Xia Zhining bit her lip, stared at her sister, and said coldly: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Xia Zhiqing knew what her sister was asking, and said: "Zhining, don't get me wrong, the reason why I painted him is because he promised that after I painted him, he would be less than ten lashes."

"Then I still have to thank sister." Xia Zhining's voice was like water in a winter pond, clear and slightly cold. She didn't believe Xia Zhiqing's words at all. She said: "If that's the case, why do you want to hide it from me? explain?"

"Aren't I worried that Zhining will misunderstand you?" Xia Zhiqing lowered her eyebrows, and the result was just as she thought. Now her sister has indeed misunderstood.

"Ah."

Xia Zhining sneered: "Do you think you can believe what that untouchable said? And didn't we agree that you would help me kill him together, so what's the use of reducing this? I think you were deceived by his sweet words."

"I didn't." Xia Zhiqing calmed down as quickly as possible and said, "His words are not untrustworthy. At least he has done what he promised me before."

"Look, you've already spoken for him, but you still haven't said anything." Xia Zhining looked at her sister angrily.

"I do not have"

"Why didn't that untouchable call you out just now?" Xia Zhi said in a scolding voice.

"He" Xia Zhiqing bit her lips. She hesitated. If she told the story about the poem, Zhining would definitely misunderstand it again, but if she kept hiding it from her, she really couldn't explain it.

After much hesitation, Xia Zhiqing finally took out the piece of paper from her arms and gave it to her sister.He said: "This is a poem he composed. Let me compose the music for him. Once the composition is completed, I will give you twenty lashes."

Xia Zhiqing still concealed the fact that the boy called her Zhiqing.

"Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in the River Island"

Xia Zhining took it and opened it, looked at it for a while, then raised her eyebrows and said, "He wrote this?"

Xia Zhiqing paused and said one thing: "Although this person is a shameless bastard, he is talented. Otherwise, he would not be able to write this poem. If it were not for the world, he would at least be able to gain the reputation of a scholar."

Xia Zhining knew that her sister liked talented people the most, so she said secretly, "You've fallen in love with him, haven't you?"

Although she is not as talented as her sister, she is still familiar with the scriptures and knows the meaning of the poem. The untouchable suddenly fell in love with her sister, and now she is using poetry to pursue her.

"How is that possible?" Xia Zhiqing answered directly, but there was a strange feeling in her heart.

"It just so happens that the untouchable likes you so much, sister, that he uses poetry to pursue you, which shows that the probability of my plan succeeding is quite high." Xia Zhining leaned into her sister's ear and said: "Sister, if you really want to help me , then next time you will do it for me."

Hearing this, Xia Zhiqing's delicate body trembled slightly, her snow-white face as white as jade was covered with red, and she said: "Why did you let me go? No."

In my sister's plan last time, she was responsible for seducing Chen Mo, and then when he was in the mood and at his weakest, she took the opportunity to take action and killed Chen Mo.

Because her sister felt that Chen Mo liked her, the young man would be less defensive about her and his sister, which would make it easier for him to succeed.

But now, her sister actually asked her to do the opposite and let her be the seducer.
"The pariah likes my sister. If my sister takes my place, the pariah will definitely be very happy. People are most likely to let down their guard when they are most excited, and I am stronger than you, sister, and it is easier to succeed."

Another point is that Xia Zhining is afraid that her sister will hesitate or be unable to take action.

And I am 100% able to do it.

"Coco." Thinking that she would lose her innocence by doing this, Xia Zhiqing hesitated for a moment.

Xia Zhining said: "Isn't my sister unwilling? Didn't my sister say she was willing to take my place at the beginning?

Sure enough, sister, you don’t want to help me at all. "

"No." Xia Zhiqing opened her eyes slightly, raised her hands to her chest and clasped her fingers tightly, then whispered: "Okay, I promise you, but if you don't succeed this time, you have to listen to me in the future. .”

"it is good."

……

In the main hall, Chen Mo showed off all the remaining Ziyang Turtles. Perhaps because he was in his sage period, he suppressed all the agitation caused this time.

[Name: Chen Mo. 】

【Age: 17. 】

[Exercise method: Ziyang Huayuan Gong (Xiaocheng 2816.7/5000). 】

[Realm: Qi Refining (Level [-]). 】

[Strength: 282. 】

[Skills: Sun Strike (Elementary 306580/5000000), Wind Chasing Arrow (Advanced 1213/2000). 】

It gained more than 100 experience points. According to what Chunhong said just now, a total of ten kilograms of purple sun turtles were caught this time.

In other words, after eating the remaining 30 kilograms of Purple Sun Turtle, the experience will increase to more than 100 points.If the sun rises every day, it can last for six or seven days of practice.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Mo was practicing archery in the courtyard and noticed the restlessness in his body.

[The number of arrows shot +1, the experience of chasing wind arrows +1. 】

[The number of arrows shot +1, the experience of chasing wind arrows +1. 】

...

Chen Mo stood a hundred steps away and his arrow hit the bullseye.

Such a movement naturally caused the movement of the two women in the wing. Xia Zhining quietly came to the window sill, dipped her finger to her lips, pierced the window paper, and took in everything that happened in the yard.

"This pariah is so strong, why is his archery so good?"

In the past few days, Xia Zhining also learned from the maid's mouth that this untouchable was only 17 years old this year.

So young, a middle-grade warrior, and still a child.

You must know that cultivation is a boring and time-consuming process. In her impression, if you want to become a middle-grade warrior at the age of 17, you need to practice endlessly every day since your bones have grown from the age of five. It can only be achieved with the supplement of medicine, so there is no time to study.
After all, one needs to pass both the county and prefecture examinations before one can be called a Tongsheng, and this definitely requires several years of study.

And he not only has this time to study, but also has time to learn archery.

A hundred steps away, a hundred shots and a hundred hits, but within four or five years, it is basically impossible to achieve it.

what is this.
"Genius." This thought came to Xia Zhining's mind. Only the legendary martial arts genius could do it.

And there are only a handful of people like this even in the capital.

"Why would such a martial arts genius be like this?" Xia Zhining clenched her palms tightly, and because of her strong force, her slightly sharp nails pierced deeply into her palms, causing waves of heartbreaking pain, but she seemed to be aware of it. It's like it can't be reached.

Suddenly, the young man in the yard noticed that someone seemed to be peeking at him. When he looked back, he didn't find anything.

Behind the window, Xia Zhining was panting heavily, her heart beating rapidly. She used to shout that she wanted to kill the other person, but now if the other person found out that she was peeking, she would have to hit him to death.

Two days later.

Outside the county town, mule carts and ox carts loaded with money and goods drove toward the city.

Zhang He wore a bamboo hat and rode on a bad horse, following the convoy.

When they arrived at the Yamen, the convoy stopped. When Zhang He was about to enter the Yamen with the cargo list, he was stopped by Sun Meng. He only let Zhang He in after being notified.

Now the stall is bigger and it is no longer the small workshop in the village. Everyone has to follow the rules.

In the yamen, Zhao Daoxian was reporting to Chen Mo on the fertilization work in the farmland outside the city.

Two-crop rice, commonly grown in the north, can be harvested in early July after sowing in spring.

"Wu Shan needs to keep an eye on this. Go around more and don't let some people with evil intentions destroy the farmland." Chen Mo said.

"promise."

Zhao Dao retreated first.

Zhang He walked in: "Brother Mo."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Chen Mo: "From now on, I will be called County Magistrate or Master Chen in my work, and I will be called Brother Mo in private."

"No, Brother Mo. No, County Magistrate." Zhang He handed over the bill of goods and said, "This is the list of goods this time."

When Chen Mo took it over to check, Zhang He asked doubtfully: "County magistrate, why didn't you buy grain this time? Instead, you bought all pig iron and this saltpeter?"

Chen Mo looked up at Zhang He, smiled, and said, "If the money is not used to develop armaments, it will be treated as war reparations."

Zhang He seemed to understand.

Chen Mo didn't explain too much. After reading the list, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't I ask you to buy a batch of crossbows? Why don't you have any?"

"Well, Quanyang County has begun to guard against us. All ordnance is not for sale. If we were not a big customer, these pig iron would not be sold to us." Zhang He said.

Hearing this, Chen Mo tapped the table with his fingers and murmured: "Quanyang County alone can no longer meet our needs, we have to open up new sales channels.

In this case, you go and call me Lu Yuan. "

"promise."

Soon, Zhang He called Lu Yuan over.

"County magistrate, are you looking for me?" Lu Yuandao said.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "You used to be the chief escort of the escort agency, so you must have been to many places, right?"

Lu Yuan nodded.

"I have a task for you. You take the brothers who used to be your escort and help me go south to find a way." Chen Mo stood up and spoke slowly in Lu Yuan's ear.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was shocked: "Promise to complete the mission."
