When Mu Dianke raised his head, Xu Younan regained his usual elegant smile. said with a smile: "Wronged like this, Chang Qianfo bullied you?" Whoever bullies you, you bite back. How did Chiba teach you? ”

Mu Dianke looked at Xu Younan and said, "Then what do you say I should do with you?" ”

"You didn't say that to me."

Mu Dianke said: "What are those silver threads?" ”

Looking at Xu Younan's expression, he obviously knew it.

"That's a big thing."

Mu Dian frowned. Xu Younan continued: "This kind of silk thread is called cutting wind iron. It is made by melting the sap extracted from the leaves of plants that grow in the smoky land of the extreme south, and then pouring it into deep-sea dark iron water, and then cooling and extracting silk.

Don't look at it, it is only such a thin strand, but it is made of eight strands of silk thread.

The plant that extracts the sap is called the cutting leaf of the wind, so this kind of silk thread is called the cutting iron. Tough and sharp, soaked without rotting, the fire is constantly burning, and the knife and axe are helpless. Awesome, right? ”

Mu Dianke groaned: "Then what if you use purified alum oil, or nitrate water, can it be broken?" ”

Xu Younan felt bored: "Since the raw material is iron, it should be able to break." ”

Mu Dian said again: "You haven't said the origin of this wind iron. ”

"Guess?"

Mu Dian didn't have the heart to fight with Xu Younan, and asked directly: "Southern Dynasty or Northern Kingdom?" ”

The complexity of the manufacturing process necessitates the need for specialized equipment and a large number of skilled craftsmen. Moreover, the deep-sea dark iron is a rare thing, and the wind leaves grow in the smoke miasma of the extreme south, which is difficult to obtain.

It is so time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, just to train a murderous invisible filament. This kind of thing, except for the people in the court who are full and have nothing to do, who will do it?

Xu Younan said: "Southern Dynasty." To be precise, the Rong family. I heard that this idea was originally put forward by Fang Yuan, the general of the Fang family who guarded the border pass, and the prime minister approved it and the emperor approved it. In the end, the Rong family supervised the matter, intending to manufacture it in large quantities and use it for border warfare.

It's a pity that cutting wind blades and deep-sea iron are extremely rare and hard to find, and the production process is too complicated, and the yield is not high. Ten feet out of silk, it is rare to be able to have two feet available. In a good deal, the price of a zhang silk is surprisingly high.

As far as I know, the imperial court practiced for a whole year, and the silk was only 50 zhang, and 30 zhang was sent to the border barracks. In the Ouchi Palace, the emperor himself left fifteen zhang. There are also five zhang in the Rong family. As for whether the Rong family has a hand behind their backs, I don't know. ”

Xu Younan paused, and roughly estimated: "The listening iron used to kill you today is fifteen or sixteen zhang, tsk, your life is really valuable." ”

Mu Dian was puzzled, she had no grudges against the Jiankang Rong family.

Xu Younan said: "The silk made by the Rong family may not be used by the family. It could be given away, it could be sold, and of course, it could be stolen...... Anyway, this matter needs to be investigated. ”

A thought suddenly popped up in Mu Dianke's mind: "You say, will Mu Cangping have any connection with the Jiankang Rong family?" ”

Xu Younan said: "It's possible." In today's troubled times, the imperial court is weak and the rivers and lakes are powerful. Jiankang's magnates are busy making friends with the forces of the rivers and lakes. In order to win over Mu Cangping, it is not surprising that the Rong family gave him a few zhang silk. ”

Mu Dianke was silent for a while, and said, "I went to see Tang Ning today and got the poison from my brother. I suspect that Tuoba Changrou was involved in last night's assassination. ”

"Tuoba Changrou? That princess of the Northland? Xu Younan laughed: "Very good, the south and the north have made it together." ”

The box containing the beauty incense is spread out on the table, and the faint fragrance of the beautiful body is emanated. This kind of smell, Jin Yanchen has smelled it on Tuoba Changrou.

He glanced up at Mu Dianke, feeling a little annoyed: "That's right, it's Tuoba Changrou." ”

Things are getting more and more confusing. Tuoba Changrou, a princess of the northern kingdom, why would she personally take risks and get involved in the assassination of the dangerous rivers and lakes?

Not to mention, Tuoba Changrou is Tuoba Qi's person. Er Tuoba Qi has been recruiting Jin Yanchen for a long time, and has condescended to seek talents several times. If it is said that Tuoba Changrou was ordered by Tuoba Qi to assassinate Yu Jin Yanchen, it is really a little unreasonable.

Yan Ming set up the meal outside, knocked on the door and invited Jin Yanchen to eat, and Mu Dian knew that what Xu Younan said was true. Jin Yanchen was really waiting for her to eat.

There was something strange in my heart at the moment, but I didn't think much about it. Anyway, these people go from south to north, eat and sleep, and it is common for them to have irregular meals.

The skill of steaming osmanthus fish with smoke and tea is a must, Mu Dianke took a big bite of rice in the soup, and praised it repeatedly: "It's delicious." Your craft is getting better and better. ”

Since the smoke tea was snatched away by Jin Yanchen, Mu Dianke still ate the dishes she made for the first time.

Yan Ming was very happy: "If the girl likes to eat, it's fine."

Jin Yanchen also smiled: "Eat slowly, it's all yours, no one will rob you." ”

Only Xu Younan looked at Mu Dianke with thoughtful eyes.

Mu Dianke ate three bowls of rice in a row, and shouted at Yan Ming: "Yan Ming, bring me a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup, and put more jujube honey." ”

Jin Yanchen also sensed that something was wrong with Mu Dian, and said in surprise: "Don't you eat sweet?" ”

Mu Dianke didn't raise his head and said, "I want to eat today." ”

Xu Younan smiled: "It seems that I was scared stupid." More than a dozen or twenty wind-cutting irons were quickly pulled and cut people, just like cutting Chinese cabbage. That battle was really scary! ”

Jin Yanchen glanced at Xu Younan. Xu Younan lowered his head and stopped talking, silently eating the dishes in his bowl.

It's not that he doesn't want to help Mu Dianke, it's true...... Even he didn't believe it when he said it.

Jin Yanchen stared at Mu Dianke for a while. Mu Dian was unaware, still gobbling up his meal, his expression was a little dull, as if venting.

Jin Yanchen asked, "Where have you been today?" ”

Mu Dianke lowered his head and picked up the rice, and said vaguely without raising his head: "I have been to many places, which one do you ask?" ”

Jin Yanchen became angry: "Where did you change your clothes?" ”

When she went out, it was clearly not this dress! He didn't remember her ever wearing such a dress!

"Outside."

"Which outside?!"

Mu Dianke heard Jin Yanchen's unkind tone, raised his head, and saw his aggressive appearance, he felt a little inexplicable, and said unhappily: "Are you interrogating me?" I've done everything I need to do. Where did I go, what clothes did I change, and I still need to report to you? ”

Jin Yanchen's eyes became more and more gloomy: "Where did you go?" ”

Mu Dianke's temper also came up: "Why should I tell you? ”

Not to be outdone, the two glared at each other. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and it was on the verge of exploding.

At this moment, Ghost Ruo led Wang Shusheng in.

Wang Shusheng, as the second monarch, often walked around in front of Jin Yanchen, and he was used to the tense situation of the brothers and sisters, so he bowed and saluted: "I have seen the Holy Lord, I have seen the girl, Elder Xu." ”

Jin Yanchen still stared at Mu Dianke, and didn't look back: "Say!" ”

Wang Shusheng owed: "Holy Lord, my subordinates are not doing things effectively, and when they rushed there, Pan Yuji and his party had already evacuated Gusu, and only caught Pan Yuji's eldest disciple centipede." ”

"Did you try it?"

"It's been reviewed. According to the centipede's confession, Pan Yuji came to Gusu because she received a big order not long ago, and at the invitation of her employer, she came to Gusu to assassinate the Holy Lord and the girl. As for who instigated it, the centipede did not know. ”

Jin Yanchen snorted coldly: "This is your errand? When the people ran out, they caught one, and they found out that they didn't know? ”

Wang Shusheng said: "Pan Xiaoworm is dead. It is said that he accidentally injured the eldest lady of Chongde Hall when he was casting Gu, and Chang Qianfo sent people to put pressure on Pan Yuji, and Pan Yuji had no choice but to personally result in Pan Xiaoworm before leaving Gusu. ”

Jin Yanchen's face sank, and he raised his hand to overturn the table in front of him. Cups, plates, and dishes collide together, making a clanging noise.

The soup was spilled and splashed all over the floor.

Mu Dianke sat on the same side as Jin Yanchen, but Xu Younan, who was on the opposite side, was stained in a gray robe.

Wang Shusheng turned white and knelt down: "His subordinates are guilty." ”

The wind swept towards Xu Younan, quite resentful.

It's not that he is ineffective, but that Xu Younan is deliberately delaying time. When he received the order, Pan Yuji and his party were already on their way out of the city, even if he could fly, he couldn't catch up.

Jin Yanchen coldly burst out two words from between his teeth: "Get out!" ”

Is this not being pursued?

Wang Shusheng's heart was relieved, put away his doubts, and quickly responded: "Yes." ”

Withdrew.

The air in the room is condensed.

Mu Dianke's expression didn't fluctuate much.

She has seen a lot of this kind of battle of smashing tables and bowls, and she has become accustomed to it when she has more. took the lotus seed soup from Yan Ming's hand, and said lightly: "You go and call Qingxiu over." By the way, ask her if the ginger flower she wore last night is still there. ”
