Chapter 122: Falling Water
The lights were as bright as beans, faintly fluttering, and the dim light was quietly in the room, and the circles were blurred.
Ah Gui looked out the window nervously, and it wasn't until a slender black shadow appeared in his sight that he relaxed and hurriedly opened the door to welcome the man in.
Dressed in a night suit, he asked, "Has anyone been here?" β
Ah Gui hurriedly replied: "No, close the window, they should always think that I am you." β
"Hmm......" The person who came ripped off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face, Liu Wenzhao.
"Childe...... The whole house was talking about the young master's inauguration ceremony three days later...... "Agui took the clothes he took off, and stopped talking.
"Hmm......" Liu Wenzhao walked back to the screen and changed clothes.
"Childe......" Ah Gui pondered for a moment and asked cautiously, "Is there anything you want to send me to do?" β
Hearing this, Liu Wenzhao walked out with a light smile, "Ah Gui, others will hide backwards as long as they are in trouble, but you run forward." β
"The villain has been with you for so many years, I just want to do everything you thought of and didn't think of for you, your mind, the villain can figure out some of it, the inauguration ceremony is full of people, you want to get rid of the young master unconsciously and take over the Weapons Bureau, this is the best opportunity, how can you not take advantage of it?"
"Yes, I want this person to have a lot of eyes...... Agui, you can really be regarded as my confidant. Liu Wenzhao praised from the bottom of his heart.
Ah Gui's face lit up with joy: "Then may I ask what the son is sending?" β
"Hmm......" Liu Wenzhao pondered for a moment and said, "You go and help me find something." Otherwise, you can't help for the time being. β
Ah Gui stepped forward, and Liu Wenzhao commanded softly.
Ah Gui's expression was clear: "The villain will do it." β
"Go ahead......" Liu Wenzhao smiled coldly.
Early the next morning. Ah Gui came to Liu Wenzhao with a dusty burden.
Agui put the burden on the desk and opened the dirty cloth. A large, swarthy iron ball was revealed.
"Childe, this is the iron ball you want, is this the right size?"
Liu Wenzhao didn't speak, only stretched out his long fingers and lightly compared them on the iron ball, nodded and smiled: "Very good, it's this size." β
Liu Wenzhao wrapped the iron ball with his own hands. Got up and opened a cabinet door and put it in.
Agui frowned and asked puzzledly, "Childe." How exactly is this used for hands and feet? β
"Mountain people have their own tricks!" Liu Wenzhao smiled mysteriously.
Agui looked at the iron ball in wonder, not knowing why, so he asked if there was anything else to do, and saw that there was no errand. I didn't ask much. He bowed his head and retreated.
Liu Wenzhao sat quietly for a while, then got up and walked towards Mrs. Jin's Hibiscus Garden......

"At that time, Yuan Bao will ride a white horse to ignite the red-clothed general, and the two hundred firecrackers of the firecrackle team will release their guns at the same time, and our fireworks will also be ignited at the same moment, and the flag of the Jin family will be hidden in the fireworks, and the divine power of the red-clothed general will fly to the middle of the sky to unfold,ββAuntie, what do you think?" Yoo Moon-zhao was in high spirits and explained the inauguration ceremony to Mrs. Kim.
"Not bad. Not bad! Mrs. Jin stroked her palms, "Xiaoxuan's idea is good." But this ceremony will cost a lot of money, right? β
"Hmm......" Liu Wenzhao pondered for a moment. There has to be a 10,000-strong start. β
"I also estimated that it would take at least 10,000 taels to be like that. It's all a firearms matter, everything must be arranged foolproof, don't be stingy with money. β
"Aunt Mingjian." Liu Wenzhao said with a smile: "With an expert like my aunt who knows what to save and what not to save at the helm, plus the young lady is careful and thoughtful, my nephew is really much more relaxed in doing things!" β
"Alright, alright, don't make fun of your aunt." Although Mrs. Jin said this, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, "It's still early, you go to the scene again to see if there are any omissions." Xiaoxuan is also there, and you also point and point her fingers. β
"Xiaoxuan is also there?"
"yes!" Mrs. Jin smiled: "The two of them are like one person now, sticking together all day long, where there is ingots, there is her, ingots are at the scene at this time, she must be there." β
Hearing this, Liu Wenzhao hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea, and jealousy flashed in his eyes.
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Jin, Liu Wenzhao did not delay, when he hurried to the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, he often came, naturally he was not hindered in the first few checkpoints, and smoothly came to the square outside the Manufacturing Bureau.
At this time, everyone is setting up a stand and a shed, placing all kinds of viewing utensils, and preparing for the inauguration ceremony of the gold ingots.
In the distance, next to a row of fireworks as thick as dozens of buckets, the gold ingots were pointing and talking to a person who looked like a steward.
Liu Wenzhao's eyes slowly fell under the stands, in the middle of the back of the square, on a lonely shed, the wind blew, the curtain of the shed was rolled up, and the fiery red silk inside was dazzling.
Liu Wenzhao swept the heavy burden in his hand and narrowed his eyes.
In the stands, a petite figure came into his sight.
Liu Wenzhao smiled slightly, raised his head and called, "Young lady! β
When the jade qilin heard this, he looked down and saw Liu Wenzhao, and smiled: "Cousin, what are you doing?" β
Liu Wenzhao quietly put the burden behind him, and said with a smile: "Madame asked me to come and see what was missing, and help you and Yuanbao." β
"Oh......" Jade Qilin nodded, and then beckoned to him: "Cousin, come up, look here." β
Liu Wenzhao looked at the unattended shed opposite, and then looked at the figure of the jade unicorn standing on the unfinished high viewing platform, and said with a smile: "Be careful not to fall down, I'll go over there to see the ingots, come over immediately." β
"Good!" The jade unicorn waved goodbye and continued to bury himself in his busy work.
Liu Wenzhao walked unhurriedly in the direction of the gold ingot, and quickly flashed in when he passed by the shed.
At this time, Jin Yuan Bao was explaining the matter, and suddenly his heart moved, looked in the direction of the shed, and saw a figure inside, so he walked over.
The gold ingot gently approached the shed, and then lifted the curtain, only to find that there was nothing inside, and he looked around inside. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Outside, Liu Wenzhao tidied up his clothes without a trace and came out of the back of the shed with his baggage. didn't look at the shed, so he walked in the direction of the jade unicorn with a smile in the corner of his eyes.
Just as he was about to walk up to the Jade Qilin. The gold ingot walked out of the shed behind him.
"Steward Liu, what are you doing here?" The gold ingot looked at him vigilantly.
Hearing the voice of the gold ingot, Liu Wenzhao's face changed, but he quickly covered it up, and when he turned to look at the gold ingot, his face was already as usual, "Auntie asked me to see if there is anything I can help with?" β
"There's nothing to help with here. Go back. The gold ingots slowly walked towards Liu Wenzhao.
"Yes." Liu Wenzhao lowered his head, responded respectfully, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Tighten your baggage and get ready to leave.
Who knew that the gold ingots suddenly stopped him again.
"Does the young master have any other orders?" Liu Wenzhao didn't look up at him.
"What's in your hand?" The gold ingots walked up to him.
"Nothing?" Liu Wenzhao frowned.
"Open it and take a look."
"It's really nothing ......"
Liu Wenzhao was reluctant to open it, and the gold ingots were not easy to go up and force it, but. He always felt. Liu Wenzhao is sneaky.
For a while, the two reached an impasse.
The jade unicorn was on the viewing platform not far away, and when he saw that something seemed to be wrong here, he rushed over curiously and asked with a smile: "Yuanbao, what are you and your cousin doing here?" β
Seeing the jade unicorn passing by, the gold ingot's face eased, smiled slightly, and affectionately held the jade unicorn's shoulder with one hand. One hand pointed to Yoo Wenzhao's package.
"I'm guessing what good stuff he's got in his hands."
"Good stuff?" The Jade Qilin couldn't help but be curious, "Cousin." Open it up and take a look. β
"Nothing good...... Liu Wenzhao took a step back, as if to hide something: "Some things that can't be put on the table." β
Jin Ingot's eyes sank instantly, and he said slowly word by word: "Since this is the case, I am even more curious." β
The jade qilin didn't notice anything unusual, and his heart was even more curious, so he smiled and said: "Yes, yes, cousin, don't sell it, open it quickly and let us see." β
Seeing the delicate and curious appearance of the little daughter, the jade unicorn couldn't bear it, and nodded helplessly, "Okay." β
Liu Wenzhao slowly opened the burden, the jade unicorn was full of curiosity and excitement, and the gold ingots were also puzzled.
As the furoshiki slowly opened, a craggy strange stone was revealed inside.
"It turned out to be a broken rock." The jade unicorn looked disappointed.
Liu Wenzhao smiled, "Qianqian heard that there are many stones on this side of the school field, so she asked me to find a stone in her fish pond." My sister had a life, so I had to do it. β
"It's just a broken stone, it's everywhere outside, why is Steward Liu so mysterious?" Jin Yuan Bao looked at Liu Wenzhao with a suspicious face.
"I'm making a big fuss."
Although he was suspicious, Jin Yuan Bao had no evidence, so he could only say helplessly: "This is an important place for the arsenal, if Steward Liu has nothing else to do, let's leave quickly." β
"Yes, I'll leave." Liu Wenzhao packed up his things and turned to leave.
Looking at Liu Wenzhao's lonely figure, Yu Qilin was a little unbearable, and poked the gold ingots with his elbow: "That's your cousin, can't you be polite when you speak?" β
Jin Yuan Bao hurriedly covered his chest and cried out in pain: "Ah, the wound is cracked." β
As soon as he heard this, the Jade Qilin was naturally worried, he didn't think much about it just now, and he didn't have any strength, so he thought he was hurting him, "How is it?" I'm sorry, I forgot that your injury is not healed, does it hurt? β
The jade unicorn stepped forward to check anxiously, and the gold ingots took the opportunity to grab her hand, looked at her with ill will, and smiled: "If the lady can kiss me, I will naturally not be in pain." β
The jade unicorn reacted and knew that it was the gold ingots who played her, and she was ashamed and annoyed, even if she chased the gold ingots, the two of you chased me, so unhappy.
Hearing the laughter coming from behind him, Liu Wenzhao clenched the burden in his hand, and his lowered eyes were extremely cold.
The two fought all the way, and came to a scaffold one after the other, but unexpectedly, the scaffolding on the side suddenly fell in the direction of the two.
The two were caught off guard and shocked.
The gold ingots reacted first and shouted, "Be careful. β
The jade unicorn also hurriedly rushed to the gold ingot: "Ingot treasure, danger, dodge quickly." β
Seeing that the scaffolding was about to be pressed down, the jade unicorn suddenly flew over, knocked down the gold ingot, and protected the whole person on him!
And Liu Wenzhao, who had already left, didn't know when Lu Dao rushed over, pounced on the jade qilin, and rolled to the side with the two of them in his arms!
Just when the three of them narrowly avoided it, the scaffolding collapsed! The fragments fell on Liu Wenzhao's body, Liu Wenzhao bit his lip and snorted, but he spread his arms out, like a mother protecting a chicken, protecting the two under him.
Screams and shouts rang out, and everyone rushed to the rescue, quickly removing the things on the three people.
The jade unicorn broke free from Liu Wenzhao beside him, and looked at the gold ingots eagerly, "How is the ingot?" β
Liu Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, and the taste in his heart was unbearable.
Hearing the voice of the jade unicorn, the gold ingots got up with a disgraced face, pulled her over, looked up and down, and asked eagerly, "Are you okay?" Are there any injuries? β
"I'm fine, what about you? Have you ever been injured? β
"I don't have anything to do...... Jin Yuan Bao looked at the jade qilin again uneasily, and then took her into his arms, "Now that Zhilu Dao is afraid, he rushed forward regardless of it just now, are you so stupid?" Although he was reprimanding on his mouth, his movements and eyes were extremely gentle.
"Aren't you as stupid as me, running forward knowing the danger."
Liu Wenzhao lowered his head, his knuckles were slashed fiercely, almost embedded in the ground......
There was a feeling of soreness and numbness on his back, his shirt was torn in several places, and there were blood stains on his arms, but those eyes never fell on him......
Liu Wenzhao smiled coldly, only feeling that his blood was all in the water, and his heart was extremely cold.
He slowly stood up, glanced at the two men who were still clinging to each other, and turned to leave.
It wasn't until Liu Wenzhao got up that the jade qilin realized his existence, saw his staggering back, and hurriedly wanted to get up to chase after him, but was firmly held down by the gold ingot.
"Don't move until you're not well."
The jade qilin obediently stopped, looked at Liu Wenzhao, and his eyes were full of gratitude: "Cousin, you are fine, right?" Thanks to you just now. β
Liu Wenzhao was stunned, his eyes were stagnant on her face, and then he fell to the hand of the gold ingots on her waist, and said indifferently: "I have nothing to do, the family, it should be." β
When Jin Yuanbao heard this, his eyes dimmed, and his thoughts were slightly confused, and then he glanced at Liu Wenzhao, who was embarrassed, and nodded his head in thanks: "Thank you for saving Xiaoxuan." You...... Is it hurt? β
Liu Wenzhao was bitter in his heart, and he didn't want to answer anymore at this time, nodded and shook his head, and turned around to leave.
The jade unicorn lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of the stone that was smashed under the skin of the burden on the ground, and he felt guilty in his heart, and said guiltily: "Oh, the stone I found for Qianqian......"
"It's okay." Liu Wenzhao muttered to himself: "It's not important. Then he walked away slowly holding on to the wound. (To be continued......)
