Chen Mujian's heart tightened, yes, she forgot, Xiaoshi didn't know about Guan'er being arrested. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother, he still has something to do, and he will be back soon." Chen Mujin smiled at him with what he thought was bright.

Xiao Shi nodded ignorantly, and his little hand grabbed her sleeve tightly, for fear that she would leave again.

Chen Mujin covered his little hand and explained where he was going for a while, and Xiaoshi obediently agreed, still tightly pulling her sleeve and not letting go. She was a little helpless, so she had to pick him up first and then pack the package. Wu Hang leaned against the door, and when he saw this scene, he walked over without saying a word, pulled Chen Mujian to the side of the chair, and cleaned it up for her.

Xiao Shi looked at the stranger cautiously, and instinctively shrank into Chen Mujian's arms, Chen Mujin patted him on the back and told him Wu Hang's identity.

"This is my little master, and I am also my brother's little master, called Wu Hang, although the name is a little strange, but his martial arts are amazing! Xiao Shi will also learn martial arts from him in the future, and no one will dare to bully you again! ”

Xiao Shi's big eyes flickered with serious thinking, and his soft voice said softly: "Is it really that powerful?" Is it better than my brother? ”

"Well, it's better than my brother." Chen Mujin helped him wrap his newly bought hood, held his face with a smile and said, "Our little stone is so beautiful!" ”

Xiaoshi smiled shyly, and her cheeks flushed with pink: "Sister, my sister is also good-looking, better than Goddess Tujie!" ”

Wu Hang suddenly glanced back at Xiao Shi when he heard this, Chen Mujin turned his back to him and didn't see it, but Xiao Shi felt this sharp gaze, and he lowered his head in a little panic.

"Who is the goddess Tujie? But they are all goddesses, they must be very beautiful, and the little stone mouth is so sweet! "Chen's thick nerves didn't realize the difference.

"Let's go." Wu Hang stood at the door with his parcel in his hand, reaching out to catch the small stone.

Xiao Shi turned his head very shamelessly and wrapped his arms around Chen Mujian's neck tightly. Chen Mujin smiled and said to Wu Hang: "This child is afraid of life, so let me come." ”

Wu Hang glanced at her, unexpectedly did not refute, and walked out first.

Chen Mujin hugged the small stone and walked down from the second floor, when he heard someone in the inn hall talking loudly.

"Did you hear that? Qi Guguo has changed the prince again! ”

"Changed again? Don't brag, last month you said that Qi Guguo had changed the crown prince, not cabbage, where can it be so easy? ”

"Tsk, you know what a fart, my nephew went to Qi Guguo to change a batch of corn, and just came back, can this news be fake? Let me tell you, their emperor Lao Er is dying, and several adult princes are fighting each other, and three princes have been replaced in just three months! This time the new one is the second prince Wuhetu, his mother is of a different race, and he doesn't know where to get a group of people, killed the prince, and spent a lot of money to buy a lot of big officials, now, he is the only adult prince left, I see, the power of this Qi Valley, maybe it will fall on him. ”

"Hey, if you want me to say, this emperor is also worthy of a nest, his son didn't take Lao Tzu in his eyes at all, it's a loss, our Emperor Wu doesn't have so many sons."

"Shhhh You don't want to die, Emperor Wu is also something you can discuss? ”

"What's there, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, who can hear it! If you want me to say, the identity of the prince of our calendar is also strange, the mother concubine is a little-known concubine, but the biological son of the dignified queen is not the prince, what is the reason? ”

"Hey, is this news? Who doesn't know that the crown prince's mother helped our Emperor Wu fight the country! Don't be fooling around there, sooner or later you'll be captured by the Iron Army and become a strong man! ”

Chen Mujin sounds quite interesting, no matter what era it is, this royal secret is the talk of the people after dinner. It's just that the little man in his arms wrapped his hand tightly around her neck, making her a little uncomfortable. What's the matter today, one or two love to torture her neck!

She walked through the hall and glanced with a little curiosity at the few people who were talking, all coolies in coarse cloth and short clothes, presumably waiting for the work of the inn, so they gathered around to gossip.

"Hu Laoba! Go to the back warehouse to pick up the goods! Xiao Er lifted the curtain from the back kitchen and greeted him neatly.

"Okay, right away!" A few men picked up the flat poles and things around them, got up with a hula, and went to the direction of the back kitchen, just in time to meet Chen Mujian.

The man at the head, known as Hu Laoba, was bare-chested, wearing only a coarse cloth coat, and on his neck, which was very dark and thick because of long hours of hard work, hung a very unmatched necklace, a Mickey Mouse head made of hemp rope!

Chen Mujian's eyes widened! It was a small object she made when she was making a hot air balloon not long ago, and later Guan'er saw that she liked it, so she made a necklace and gave it to him. The necklace around the neck of this Hu Laoba is made by Chen Mujin himself!

"Big brother, please wait a minute!" She moved, blocking their way.

Seeing that she was still holding a child, Hu Laoba thought that it was a little woman from a certain family, maybe she needed some help, so she asked enthusiastically: "Is there something wrong with the little lady?" ”

Chen Mujin pointed to the necklace on his chest with an anxious face and asked, "This big brother, where did you get this chain?" ”

Seeing that she was asking this, Hu Laoba was a little unhappy, and muttered: "This, this is what I did!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a tall man behind him slapped him on the head and shouted, "Hu Laoba, you are blind again!" Obviously I picked it up in the afternoon, so why bother to deceive this little lady! ”

Hu Laoba's face turned red, and he turned his head and shouted at the man: "Niu Dabiao, you don't fart!" ”

Seeing this, Chen Mujin understood a little in his heart, stepped forward again, and explained very earnestly: "Brother Hu, this chain was made by me to my senior brother, he was robbed this afternoon, and I really can't find him." When I saw this necklace, I guessed that it must be a clue or trace left by him, please Brother Hu help me, I don't want this necklace, you just need to tell me where I picked it up, I will look for it, please! ”

Because it was difficult to hold the small stone, she had to bend her knees and make a standard women's curtsy salute.

The words were reasonable, so that these men began to denounce Hu Laoba.

"Hu Laoba, you are not a thing, the husband of the little lady has been lost, you just say it!"

"That's it, this guy is made of straw, it's only worth a few dollars, and it's worth being a baby!"

"Hu Laoba, what you can do in this matter is too inauthentic, you pick up other people's ones, and you don't give them back to the little lady!"

Hu Laoba's face instantly turned purple red, and his already thick black neck became thicker at the moment, and he turned his head and shouted: "Shut up the fuck!" ”

In an instant, everyone fell silent.

Hu Laoba took the necklace, threw it to Chen Mujian, and said angrily: "Since it's yours, I'll return it to you, I'm not an unreasonable person, I picked it up at the door of the Suyang Dart Transport Bureau, you go and save your husband!" ”

Seeing that they had misunderstood, Chen Mujin was also a little helpless, so he took the necklace and thanked him: "It's not my husband, it's my senior brother, thank you Brother Hu for your righteousness, I, Chen Mujin, will remember it in my heart and will definitely repay you!" ”

After saying that, he curtsy again, and hurried away with the small stone in his arms.

A new joke began behind him: "The little lady is still embarrassed, she is not a husband, she has all the dolls, hahaha!" The crowd laughed.

Chen Mujin had to automatically block the movement behind him and shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, a very important clue has finally been found! I have to hurry back to Sima Ji and tell him about it!

"Why are you so slow!" Sima Ji was holding two black horses with an unhappy face, and was standing at the door of the outer courtyard of the inn waiting for her.

Chen Mujin hurriedly told him about this and took out the necklace in his hand.

Wu Hang's face was gloomy in an instant, he took the necklace and looked at it carefully for a moment, then suddenly turned over and got on the horse, and said with a serious face: "I'll go to explore this Suyang Dart Transport Bureau first, you hurry up and explain this matter to Sima Ji, don't stay outside, understand?" If I don't come back for an hour, then I'll borrow someone from Sima Ji! "Anyway, with a whip raised, he simply turned the horse's head and walked away!

Chen Mujin is angry! This sloppy guy really thinks he is invincible all over the world! She immediately wanted to chase after her, but she looked at the small stone in her arms, struggled for a moment, and resolutely got on the horse and rushed to Sima Ji's house, hoping that everything would be in time!

"Sister, my brother was kidnapped, right?" The voice in his arms was soft and nasal.

Chen Mujin remembered what she said in the inn hall, and was speechless for a while, and said for a while: "I'm sorry, my sister lied to you, my brother was arrested, but this has nothing to do with you, my sister didn't tell the truth because she didn't want you to worry." ”

The horse's hooves were galloping, the wind was whistling in his ears, and Chen Mujin tightened the hood of the small stone again.

"Sister, I understand, you don't have to apologize, it's me who dragged you down." The sound of the little stone was full of frustration and sadness.

"Little stone, my sister only said this once, you remember! From the moment my brother saved you, we didn't think that you were a burden, on the contrary, you were a new hope! So I don't want you to say anything like that again! Do you understand? Chen Mujin said solemnly, hoping that he could understand her intentions.

"I, I see." Small stones swished, and the sound was barely audible in the horse's hooves and the wind. But Chen Mujian still heard it, and she hugged the little stone harder!

"Sima Ji! Sima Ji! Chen Mujin anxiously slammed the door.

After a while, the door opened, Sima Ji was dressed in black plain clothes, with a thin waist and narrow hips, a jade face and red lips, looking very handsome in the dim light, and the face that was very similar to Xu Guan'er had a completely different temperament.

"Why are you so alarmed? What happened? He asked quietly, his face concerned and his voice soft and low, like the quiet deep pool of Huaixiao Valley.

I don't know why, Chen Mujin suddenly became less anxious, she breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at him steadily: "I have a clue!" ”
