Qin Shi Huang: Swordsmanship begins with picking up Xiao Meng

Chapter 88: Bickering with Zi Nu, fear stems from lack of strength
Zilanxuan!
When Zi Nu saw Jiang Yu, her first words were to continue yesterday's topic:
"Sir, are you here to pay the bill?"

Jiang Yu was able to run last night, but now he can't run.

"Miss Zi Nu, between us, do we really need to bother about such a small amount of money?"

Jiang Yu laughed and waved as he handed over the large box of Qiulan orchids he had brought with him:

"Look, I'm giving you so much money right now without even blinking an eye."

"It seems like this is the hard work I deserve."

Zi Nu rolled her eyes at Jiang Yu and waved her hand for the maid to move it away.

"But this one is not."

Jiang Yu, who had been prepared, took out another autumn orchid:
"This is the best autumn orchid, so maybe Miss Zi Nu will give me some money later."

"Sir, you'll get beaten if you do this!"

Zi Nu didn't understand. This guy was willing to spend a huge amount of money to redeem Nong Yu, so why was it so difficult for her to pay a few dozen gold coins?
"Who wants to hit me, Miss Zi Nu?"

Jiang Yu looked at Zi Nu, eager to try, not knowing who wanted to hit whom.

"I don't have that ability."

Zi Nu had seen with her own eyes how miserable Wei Zhuang looked.

After reaching out and pulling the Qiulan from Jiang Yu's hand with a resentful look, Zi Nu took Jiang Yu to the private room on the second floor.

On the way, Jiang Yu thought of Honglian and asked:

"I heard that Miss Zi Nu has a special sword. May I borrow it to take a look?"

Zi Nu was a little confused:
"With your discerning eye, do you think I'm worthy of such an ordinary sword?"

"There's someone close to me who wants to learn swordsmanship. I think she's quite suitable for learning chainswords, so I want to imitate her and build one."

Jiang Yu explained:
"If Miss Zi Nu has any requests, please feel free to ask."

"For those eight words you said yesterday, I'll lend you this sword without any problem."

Zi Nu handed the Chi Lian Sword to Jiang Yu and kindly reminded him:
"But if you don't use this sword properly, you will hurt yourself!"

"Ok!"

Jiang Yu nodded and said:
"Thank you Miss Zi Nu, I'll consider it as a favor I owe you."

"No need for favors. I just hope that you can spare Zi Lan Xuan from doing business with him in the future."

Zi Nu was still worried that Wei Zhuang could not defeat Jiang Yu.

After all, the rules of the entire business were set by Jiang Yu alone, so Wei Zhuang was naturally the one who suffered the loss.

"Miss Zi Nu, are you judging a gentleman by your own mean standards?"

Jiang Yu immediately expressed injustice:

"How could I attack you, Miss Zi Nu?"

Seeing Jiang Yu's sneaky look, Zi Nu was so angry that she really wanted to hit him, but when she thought about how she couldn't beat Jiang Yu, she had to give up and used the words Jiang Yu had said before to her own advantage:

"Sir, has anyone ever told you that your acting is also very good?"

Of course there is this. Didn't Dong Jun "praise" Jiang Yu before? But Jiang Yu said without blushing:
"Just yesterday, the Ninth Young Master said that my acting skills were not good."

"Young Master Jiu is extremely unlucky to have a friend like you."

Zi Nu felt sorry for Han Fei who was deceived by Jiang Yu.

"Speaking of the Ninth Young Master, he will be here soon. I'll have to trouble Miss Zi Nu to lead the way then."

Jiang Yu, who was blamed by Han Fei yesterday, came to Zilanxuan today and naturally informed Han Fei.

As for Han Fei, who wanted to meet the real owner of the box, he obviously would not refuse Jiang Yu's invitation.

"understood."

Zi Nu responded, but finally she was too lazy to pay attention to Jiang Yu anymore:
"I'm going to get busy!"

"Row!"

Jiang Yu took the Chi Lian sword into the private room and examined it carefully.

Especially the sophisticated mechanism on it, which can support the extension of the Red Snake Sword so much. To some extent, the manufacturing process is more difficult than Jiang Yu's Fu Shui Sword.

"Son!"

Not long after, the door opened again and Nanyue walked in gracefully with a zither in her arms. It seemed that Zi Nu still understood Jiang Yu very well.

Looking at Jiang Yu who was busy, Nong Yu asked:
"Sir, do you need Nanyue to play the zither for you now?" "Wait a moment!"

Jiang Yu, who was watching the sword, replied.

"it is good!"

Nanyue put down her zither, sat beside it, and waited quietly.

After a while!
Jiang Yu, who had finally memorized all the details of the Scarlet Snake Sword, looked up and said to Nong Yu:

"Sorry to have kept Miss Nanyue waiting for so long!"

"Young Master, you're welcome!"

Nong Yu said softly:
"Do you need to play it now?"

"Ok!"

Jiang Yu nodded!

The melodious sound of the piano then rang out in the private room.

Jiang Yu listened quietly to the music, feeling the changes in his mood.

Time flies!
There was a knock on the door, and it was Han Fei who was invited.

"Brother Jiang!"

Han Fei came in and sat down, then lowered his voice and said:

"Last night you said Xinzheng was not peaceful. It turns out something big happened."

"What's the big deal?"

Jiang Yu opened his eyes and asked with a smile.

"Brother Jiang, do you know about the recent case of the ghost soldiers borrowing money?"

Han Fei saw Jiang Yu nod before continuing:

"The chief examiner who was in charge of hearing this case died mysteriously at home last night. I heard that his investigation angered the ghost soldiers, and they came to claim his life."

"Oh!"

Jiang Yu remained calm.

After all, it was Ji Wuye who did it. Even if the gold was lost, Ji Wuye still had to stop the investigation, otherwise he would be the first to suffer.

In particular, Ji Wuye, in addition to wanting gold, also wanted to use this incident to deal with his political enemy, Prime Minister Zhang Kaidi.

"Brother Jiang, those are ghost soldiers."

Han Fei was very curious about what could happen in this world that could shock Jiang Yu.

If Han Fei hadn't gotten the water-dissolving gold yesterday and knew that someone was secretly playing tricks on him, he would have felt a little scared.

"For me, it doesn't matter what kind of soldiers there are, as long as they are strong enough."

Not to mention Ye Mu's tricks, there is a real ghost following Han Fei alone, and then what?
"All fears are simply due to a lack of strength."

"All fears are simply due to a lack of strength."

Han Fei smacked his lips, then gave Jiang Yu a thumbs-up.

"That makes so much sense. Brother Jiang is indeed Brother Jiang!"

Han Fei's mood also gradually became better.

Because this case of the Yin soldiers borrowing money was exactly the opportunity he had been waiting for to return to the Korean court.

Of course, we have to let the wind blow for a few more days before it is the best time to take action.

"Then I won't disturb Brother Jiang from listening to the piano!"

Seeing that Jiang Yu and Nanyue were the only ones in the private room, Han Fei winked and then tactfully left.

Then Han Fei intentionally or unintentionally wandered around Zilanxuan, trying to find Wei Zhuang.

However, facing Wei Zhuang who had been in seclusion to recuperate, Han Fei returned empty-handed.

Jiang Yu continued to listen to his piano, and after finishing, he went home to play with his wife.

For the next few days, Jiang Yu repeated the same schedule. In the morning, he taught Shao Siming and Honglian. In the afternoon, he bickered with Zi Lanxuan and Zi Nu, listened to the zither, and in the evening, he accompanied his wife. His days were quite fulfilling.
