Chapter Eighty-Six: Hitting the muzzle of the gun and not admitting defeat
Isabella and Chen Mu's actions were also a little moving, and Song Zhenshu was also silent in her eyes.
Yang Yuning, who was on the side, muttered to Song Zhenshu a little sourly: "Sister Song, this Isabella is ...... She likes Chen Youren......"
The daughter's mind is more delicate, Yang Yuning can see it, and Song Zhenshu can naturally see it, but she doesn't have much feeling, or she doesn't show it as easily as Yang Yuning.
Chen Mu also has mixed feelings, originally this was a matter that had nothing to do with him Chen Mu, but now he was pushed into the position of the protagonist by Isabella, although Isabella saw that Chen Mu could not succeed after seeing it, or that foreigners were determined to win this time, but it is undeniable that Chen Mu also got the opportunity he always wanted!
He can finally break away from Isabella, get rid of foreigners, and be able to get back the Chen family's abandoned mansion, and even be able to recruit people in a bright way!
But such a big thing needs Chen Mu to preside, and Chen Mu really doesn't know where to start, after coming out of the consulate, he fell into deep thought, and didn't say a few words along the way.
Halfway through the carriage, Chen Mu got out of the car, but did not return to the Lin family, but leaked and folded to Prussiantown.
Prussian had just finished praying before bedtime, and it was a little surprising to see Chen Mu's late-night visit.
After playing in the knight trials, Chen Mu was busy with all parties, and he never came to Prussian for advice again, and tonight was also abrupt.
"Chen, what's the urgency?"
Chen Mu didn't hide much from Prussiantown, and told Isabella's proposals, and Prussian Town also shook his head.
"Chen, do you think Isabella will be reluctant to give up on you?"
Chen Mu didn't expect that Prussian would suddenly talk about this, and after thinking about it, he replaced the answer with silence.
Prussian sighed lightly: "François is a man of great self-esteem, and the lost dignity must be regained, I have never doubted this, but I didn't expect it to ...... so soon."
"Priest, do you think I'm going to lose?" What Chen Mu didn't expect was that in this matter, Prussiantown's attitude was surprisingly consistent with Isabella's, believing that Chen Mu had no chance of winning, and was just a pawn that allowed François to regain his dignity.
Prussian replied solemnly: "I received news two days ago that François was planning to hold an international technical attack, mainly for the Chinese community, but I didn't expect you to hit the muzzle, Isabella let you go at this time, not because she is tolerant, but because you are the rabbit who threw himself into the net......"
"The François family has always had a good memory, in your words, it is a revenge, as early as after the defeat in the trials, he began to plan revenge, the day before yesterday someone told me that a man came from the sea and had arrived at the port, I knew that something big had happened, but I didn't expect it to happen to you."
"Who is so powerful?" Chen Mu was also bitter, if it wasn't for Song Zhenshu asking him for help, he wouldn't have hit the muzzle of the gun, just by himself, Isabella would easily give up on herself, and even Prussian, who has always been confident in herself, is not optimistic about him Chen Mu this time, which makes Chen Mu feel very surprised.
Prussian poured Chen Mu a glass of amber wine, knocked it twice, and said seriously to Chen Mu: "Drink it." ”
Chen Mu knew that the missionary's private life was not so hard, and he would occasionally secretly drink two cups, but his expression was too serious at this time, and Chen Mu was also a little uneasy in his heart.
The foreign wine is a little spicy in the mouth, the alcohol is relatively strong, with a faint fruity taste, it is not as sweet as rice wine, but after drinking, I always feel that the irritability in my heart is gathered together, and then it is instantly dispersed, and there is a temporary sense of relaxation.
Seeing that Chen Mu had drunk, Prussian spoke: "As we all know, François has the title of Sir Blues, and he has always used his family's surname in public, rarely using his real name, but many people don't know why. ”
"François is the second son in the family, and he actually has an older brother named François de Montmoronsi, a man who is feared by you."
"Monmoreronsi, whose title is Count of Romania, is a notorious dueling fanatic of the Third Republic, and he killed more than forty people in a duel within a year, and people gave him the title of Black Count."
"As I told you earlier, duels are often used as a justification for killing people in overseas places like the Qing Kingdom, but in the Third Republic, duels are forbidden."
"Because the government needs to monopolize violence and judicial power, and never allow the nobles to use violence for personal gain, let alone set up their own courts, you should know that the process of duels is a bit complicated, and many places need to set up courts to review whether they need a duel to solve the problem."
"But this ancient and barbaric way has always been loved by those who call themselves brave, and the nobles of Europa are trying their best to continue it, and Montmorelonsi is the hero of the duelist, the god of duels!"
"But this blatant act will not be forgiven, and he was sentenced to death, which is a shame and a great loss for the ancient and noble François family."
"So, the François family, through various connections, rescued Montmorelonsi, through the navy, and sent overseas, and the Third Republic acquiesced in this result."
Chen Mu finally understood: "So, the god of dueling has arrived here?" ”
"Yes, it is precisely because Montmorelonsi came here to take refuge that François has the confidence to hold the International Martial Arts Championship, he wants to make the name of Montmorelonsi resound in the sky on the Eastern continent, and he wants to establish the legend and prestige belonging to the François family overseas."
"You have been studying with me for a long time, and you should know that these overseas explorers, they like to create legends, they like to flaunt themselves, and these legendary experiences will be written into books by the writers they hire, and when they return to their motherland, they will be admired by tens of thousands of people."
"The François family fought with this idea, they want to use the blood of the Qing people to create the legendary name of Montmorelonsi, and one day when they return to the motherland, they will be able to wash away the shame of the François family."
Speaking of this, Prussian also poured himself a glass of wine, and said to Chen Mu with a compassionate expression.
"My poor Chen, your sense of justice is too strong, and you are unwilling to refuse others, which led you to fall into this whirlpool, the Black Earl is the god of killing, you have no chance of winning, not to mention exchanging those students, whether you can walk down from the ring alive is the biggest problem......"
Seeing that Chen Mu was silent, Prussian also asked tentatively: "Do you need me to negotiate with Mr. Trio and let you stay out of the matter?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Mu shook his head resolutely and said, "No, I will do this, and it must be completed!" ”
Chen Mu is not blindly confident, he finally waited for this opportunity, although he ran into the muzzle of the gun, but for him, it was also a dream.
Although he can no longer use the name Chen Mu, let alone publicize the fact that he is the second son of the Chen family, he can take back the old mansion and recruit troops justifiably, which is definitely something he is very happy about.
As for Meng Mo Longxi, although it was unexpected, but he also had to face it, in the process of rebuilding and rebuilding, he would inevitably encounter all kinds of strong enemies, if he escaped every time, he Chen Mu would be a turtle with a shrunken head for the rest of his life.
Chen Mu said resolutely, and Prussian couldn't force it, so he asked Chen Mu, "What do you need my help with?" ”
Chen Mu thought about it, and finally said, "I want to borrow money......
"Borrow money?" Prussian was also a little stunned, because in his eyes, Chen Mu was an extremely elegant person who rarely mentioned money.
Chen Mu is not a high-minded person, if he wants to repair the old house, he needs money, and at this time, he is poor and white, where can he have the money to do this?
Although Isabella did not give a timetable, Montmorelonsi had already arrived, indicating that the universal technique was also fast.
He needs to build the Chen family's mansion and use the prestige of the Chen family to recruit more strong people, otherwise he will not be able to fight against Montmorelonsi at all, as Isabella and others think, he is just a footnote for François to regain his self-esteem.
Lin Sheng is rich, and he is Chen Mu's father, if Chen Mu speaks, Lin Sheng will not stand idly by, but now it is different, Lin Wen is not friendly to Chen Mu, and it takes a lot of money to repair the house, if he reaches out to Lin Sheng at this time, Lin Wen doesn't know who he looks at.
Chen Mu didn't care how Lin Wen thought of him, but he was just a deed, and if it affected the relationship between the Lin family's father and son, this was not the result that Chen Mu wanted to see.
Besides, the matter is related to his own plans, Chen Mu also hopes to use his own ability to complete this matter, if Lin Sheng is too deeply involved, it will not be a good thing for him and Lin Sheng.
Prussian was deeply respected by foreigners, and he made many wealthy Chinese, and his church was built with the help of others, so he should have full experience in this area, and he was the best person to ask for help.
However, Prussian's first sentence dispelled Chen Mu's thoughts: "I am just a priest, I never handle money, besides, I only know how to build a church, if the Chen family house is built into a church, I am willing to help......"
"Build a church?" Chen Mu also couldn't laugh or cry, how much Hong Shuntang's brothers hated foreigners, there was no need to say much, otherwise they would not have attacked the Countess Ducaly.
The reason why Chen Mu took back the Chen family's mansion was to take advantage of this opportunity so that the old people of Hong Shuntang could gradually get back, and if the church was built, it would be equivalent to announcing to the world that the Chen family was completely finished, and Hong Shuntang was also completely finished.
"That's it." Chen Mu smiled bitterly and was about to speak again, but a stone was suddenly thrown in from outside, and it bounced far away on the ground!
"Who!"
Chen Mu held down the handle of the knife and rushed out, only to see Sun Youlin standing in the courtyard.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Mu asked Sun Youlin and the others to stare at Gong Fuzi day and night, and had already agreed on the code in advance, but it was not yet time to meet, Sun Youlin was so anxious to find it, something must have happened!
"Gong Fuzi is dead!"
