In the face of Chen Mu's request, Prussian was also a little hesitant, after all, Chen Mu and François had just broken out in conflict and had not yet entered the cooling-off period, so it would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire to visit at this time.

He knew that Chen Mu would never be untargeted, and he thought that the reason could only come from the young man beside Chen Mu, so he took a closer look.

Yan Ruxu was taller than Chen Mu, and after picking it up, he also showed his handsome true face.

Although his father is just a small shopkeeper of Jardine Harmony, it is obvious that he has taught him to read since he was a child, and there is no lack of bookish flavor in his erect heroic spirit, his hair is tied up, he is tied up, and he wears a Chinese-style horse coat, which is not a little old-fashioned.

Chen Muke is much calmer than Prussiantown, because he is familiar with his brother's temperament, his brother is a playful person, loves beautiful women, and also loves beautiful men, and among the friends he has made, nine out of ten are handsome men and beautiful women.

Yan Ruxu has a scar on his chin, it is estimated that it was caused by a bump when he was a child, the scar is not very obvious, but it is extremely curious, in order to take a good look at this scar, he will stay on his face for more moments.

He is a good-looking man, the more he looks at it, the more flavorful he becomes, and that kind of affinity that attracts people is innate.

Prussia Tun regretted a little that he shouldn't have brought Chen Mu to visit François, but after looking at Yan Ruxuan for a long time, he finally dispelled the worries in his heart.

He didn't pay attention to Prussian's inner thoughts, but closed his eyes in the carriage and tried his best to suppress the excitement and anger in his heart!

François's official residence is also in the concession, which is not big in the first place, and it is okay to walk, but foreigners like to talk about pomp and circumstance, and they like to take Western-style carriages when they come and go, so they came to François's official residence after a while.

The official residence is not very large, but it is full of Western style, with red walls and white roofs, and there is a "water law" in the courtyard, that is, a fountain.

At the center of the fountain is a sculpture of the archangel Michael, the most combative archangel, and like all other designs in the residence, the fountain is designed to show the heroism of François.

Xu was defeated by Chen Mu, and the entire official residence manor looked a little lonely and gloomy, but the sudden visit of Prussian also made the official residence busy in an instant.

The foreigners are very pompous, but the etiquette process is very simple, far from the long-standing sense of ritual of the Chinese nation.

François did not go out to greet the guests, but had servants lead Prussian and Chen Mu to the meeting room.

It's just a hall, but it's just as luxurious, with crystals and glassware everywhere reflecting a mesmerizing light.

After sitting in the hall for a moment, François walked out, but wearing a silk nightgown, looking very casual and rude.

He was in a bad mood, and knew that he had no hope of becoming Prussian's godson, so he was not so polite to Prussiatown as before.

When he saw Chen Mu, he was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and the whole person was about to explode!

"How dare you!"

Chen Mu didn't come to visit and reconcile, he just came to identify the murderer, so his attention has been on Yan Ruxu's body.

However, Yan Ruxu's face was as usual, and when he saw François, he was also at a loss, looking at Chen Mu's inquiring eyes, he only shook his head slightly.

"He's not on the ship?" Chen Mu asked in a low voice, and Yan Ruxu also replied truthfully: "Although it was very dark that night, but then there was a fire, and it was real enough to see that this ghost guy was not on the ship......"

"He's the captain of the Countess Ducaly, how could he not be on board!" In order to prevent Prussian from hearing the inside story, Chen Mu used Chaoshan dialect to communicate at the beginning, so he didn't have too much to worry about.

Yan Ruxu's father is the little shopkeeper of Jardine House, who travels for business all the year round, understands all local dialects, and the guests at home come and go, and they are all kinds of characters from all over the world.

Yan Ruxu looked at François carefully again, and finally shook his head in confirmation: "He is indeed not on the ship." ”

Chen Mu also felt ridiculous in his heart, this François kept boasting about his exploits on the Countess Ducaly, and he was just bragging about it!

In fact, just thinking about it, you know that Yan Ruxuan is not mistaken, with François's actual combat ability, how can he kill people on a chaotic ship, it would be good if he was not trampled to death by the chaotic soldiers!

François was already furious when he saw Chen Mu visiting, but he didn't expect Chen Mu to ignore his scolding, but just whispered to the people around him, in his home, he didn't take François as the master in his eyes at all!

"Chen Youren! How dare you come to my house and be presumptuous! Get the hell out of here! ”

Chen Mu got the answer he wanted, and his heart was inevitably lost, so he said to François: "Your Excellency's temper is still so big, there is an old Chinese saying that anger hurts the liver, you have to take care of your body, always angry, not good for health." ”

François didn't expect Chen Mu to dare to speak sarcastically, and was about to scold, but Chen Mu stood up and said to François.

"I'm not here today to quarrel with you, I just want to tell you that I decided to have another competition with the Bone Crusher, and I hope you can organize the venue and the audience."

In fact, this is also the rhetoric that Chen Mu has thought of a long time ago, he did have such an agreement with the bone crusher, and this agreement is just used as an excuse.

François has always been obsessed with it, and losing to Chen Mu is a stain on his life and a great shame, but after the duel, he also understands that he can't beat Chen Mu.

Now Chen Mu has offered to have another match with the bone crusher, isn't this a pie in the sky!

As for organizing the venue and the audience, this is his forte, and with his appeal of François, it is a piece of cake to hold a banquet that is not much like Consul Trio!

In his opinion, Chen Mu was so confident that he was stupid, and he actually handed over the hosting rights to François, but he didn't know the truth of home advantage!

And he also knew that the Bone Crusher, like him, could not tolerate defeat, although no one could see the battle in the small room of the labyrinth, let alone know how the Bone Crusher lost to Chen Mu.

But he believed that the Bone Crushers were as brave and fearless warriors as he was, that they would get up from wherever they fell, and that if given another chance, the Bone Crushers would do their best to wash away their shame!

"You really killed yourself, and even sent it to the door, and Sir Ben fulfilled your wish to die, this duel, we accept it!"

Prussian didn't know Chen Mu's true intentions, and when he heard Chen Mu speak, he actually came to write a war letter, and he also covered his forehead, with a look of helplessness and frustration.

If he knew that Chen Mu was here to write a war letter, he would not bring Chen Mu over, at least he could dissuade Chen Mu.

Even if Chen Mu had a way to defeat the Bone Crusher again, he actually didn't want to see Chen Mu's second battle, because no matter whether he won or lost, if he fought again, the possibility of reconciliation would be completely extinguished!

He has the heart to cultivate Chen Mu, the heart to accept Chen Mu as his godson, and the heart to bring Chen Mu into the upper circle of foreigners, but Chen Mu completely offended François, to the point of not dying, even if there is Miss Isabella to protect him in the future, it will be difficult to move an inch.

"Chen is still too young to underestimate the significance of the navy to the explorers......" Prussian thought in his heart, and wanted to persuade him, but Chen Mu had already stood up and said to François.

"Then it's decided, when the bone crusher recovers from his injuries, he can notify me to come to the game."

Dropping these words, Chen Mu said to Prussian: "Teacher, do you have anything else to talk about with Your Excellency?" We'll be waiting for you outside. ”

Prussian looked at François and was also extremely embarrassed, but François took the initiative to speak.

"Priest, you are a noble watchman and our shepherd, why do you have to choose a Qing pig?"

Prussian looked at François, as if at last he had seen his face, and stood up and said to François.

"God created the whole world, but all the places where the sun and the moon shine are God's people, and the same is true for the people of the Qing Kingdom, how can they distinguish between the high and the low?"

"François, I regret your words." So said Prussiantown, and went out first.

When Chen Mu turned his head to look, François's face was gloomy, as if there were dark clouds of thousands of thunderbolts, and as soon as he walked out of the living room, there was a roar and the sound of breaking utensils behind him.

Prussian turned his head to look at it, and then asked Chen Mu, "Are you confident that you can defeat the Bone Crusher?" ”

Chen Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No." ”

Chen Mu didn't lie, because he couldn't beat the Bone Crusher at all, the real killer in the labyrinth room was the old Dao Lu Shengwu, if he wanted to win the Bone Crusher, he had to return to the Tianhou Temple before the game, discuss countermeasures with Lu Shengwu, and learn some tricks that would win.

Prussian was also surprised: "Since there is no certainty of victory, why take the initiative to provoke this war?" ”

Chen Mu looked up at the sky, fell into a short contemplation, and then said to Prussian: "Teacher, some battles are inevitable, since you have to face them sooner or later, why do you want to escape and retreat?" ”

Prussian sighed softly: "It is said that you Qing people are the most intelligent ethnic group, and there is an old saying in China, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, but you are an outlier among them......"

Prussian is a China expert, and these truths are also at hand, but recall that if Chen Mu were not an outlier, he would not have seen the different temperament of the Chinese, and he would not have had so many intersections and stories with Chen Mu.

Chen Mu didn't explain much, but said to Prussian: "It's all here, it's better to go to the consular hospital again." ”

"Consular hospital?" Prussian was a little surprised, but quickly figured it out, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You want to offend everything you can offend in one day, is this what you Chinese call putting death and then living?" ”

Chen Mu also smiled and said to Prussia: "No, this is knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles, if you want to defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy." ”

Although he said so, Chen Mu's intention was very clear, since François was not on the ship, then the suspicion of the murderer could only fall on the bone crushers and Vikings and other sailors.

Since they have all come out, they will not do any more, they will simply go to the consular hospital, and Heng Zhu must find out the identity of the murderer today!
