Chapter 10: A Request for Help
"In the past, I just couldn't get used to my big brother's face and grabbed business with him. He relied on the name of the merchant, how high the asking price could be, and sometimes mixed fake goods into it, making a little money, and living a poor appearance. His phoenix eyes crossed with disgust, and his nails tapped rhythmically against the wooden box, making a clear sound.
"Don't you even know about it?" Mu Ningjiu frowned.
After all, he is also a businessman, and the eldest brother does not do anything that damages the reputation of the businessman, so he turns a blind eye and goes with him. But who knew that the eldest son who didn't make it became even harder, so it was okay, he was reported by the partner last month, and the original business ran away, and he lost a lot of money. Shang Jin sighed slightly and said:
"It's self-inflicted."
"No wonder." No wonder she sees that there are many fewer people in the house, and the emotional business has reached the point of firing the maid to save expenses.
"And now, the money has a much more important purpose. When I came back a few days ago, I contacted a few killer battalions, planning to recruit a group of them. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his voice became cold:
"I'm going to make that bastard pay for it with blood!" Behind his back, a hand slowly caressed to calm his sudden surging emotions. Mu Ningjiu looked into his dark eyes and was stunned. After his death, he was like a cold knife with a sharp edge, calm and calm, but people did not dare to underestimate him. The lines of the side face gradually hardened, diluting the impetuousness at first sight, and becoming more stable. She suddenly called softly:
"Ah Jin."
"Huh?" Shang Jin turned his head, and a shallow kiss remained at the corner of his mouth.
"I'm here." She could understand his feelings, she had never been a saint, hated this thing, and it wasn't like she could let it go. She won't say anything pretty, the only thing she can do is companionship.
Shang Jinfeng's eyes trembled, and the residual haze dissipated instantly. She will always be the one who knows him best. His pain, like a broken puzzle, fits perfectly after meeting her. They are like twin flowers, extremely similar, but they grow up in each other's fighting. Everyone in the world thinks that the merchant boy is very good at talking, but every time he faces her, his pale words seem to be completely unable to express his feelings.
He pursed his lips, pulled her head into his arms, and rubbed the top of her head with his chin, the faint fragrance of the woman's hair wafted faintly, and a wave of satisfaction welled up in his heart for no reason.
……
"Jin'er, now that the Shang Mansion is in danger, as a member of this family, shouldn't you also contribute? Don't go to the flower building, save the money to fill in the arrears of the merchant house. Dad heard that after you came back from your travels, you frequently brought a woman to the house? You have not yet taken a wife, what is the form of such a son? Shang Heng sat on the mahogany chair, frowning and scolding.
"She is my future wife." Shang Jin said in a deep voice.
It may be that Shang Jin's wandering image has been too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for more than ten years, and even Shang Heng has been deceived. Hearing Shang Jin say this, he naturally didn't believe it and persuaded:
"Jin'er! I haven't said anything about you for so many years of playing with women, but how can you marry a fireworks woman? You are a smart person, there are thousands of women in the world, another day my father will find you a young lady of the family, it is definitely no worse than the one you brought back! ”
Shang Jin's lazy eyes suddenly froze, he got up suddenly, and brought a gust of fierce wind, Shang Heng was startled by him, frowned and looked at him, I don't know why.
"Smack"
The man in purple propped his hands on the table, and the precious tea bowl on it was shattered into two petals, and the collision made a clanging sound. The voice is as usual, but it reveals an invisible coercion:
"Dad, I'll call you Daddy. Remembering your kindness to me, I will fill in the bankrupt money for you. Mu Ningjiu is the shopkeeper of the Drunken Flower Building, not a fireworks woman, whether you approve of it or not, she will be my wife. But if you slander her half-point, I can take back this money at any time, so that the merchant, from now on, will fall into the dust and be worthless. ”
Shang Heng trembled with anger: "Son! Son! For the sake of a woman, you talk to me like that?! Don't even recognize me as a father? Do you take the money? Are you rich? ”
"You're wrong, I'm not your son." Shang Jin threw down a letter, turned around and said:
"My mother is alive and well, this is a letter she wrote to you, you will understand after reading it. And money, whether you believe it or not, I have it. He went to the door, paused, and said:
"Even though you haven't given me anything over the years, thank you. If you think clearly, let Shang Haozhi come and tell me, after all, the merchant fell to this point in the field, and it was all caused by him. ”
……
"Girl, I was in a hurry last time, and I haven't asked you what your name is?" Mu Ningjiu looked at him quietly, and the killing intent in his eyes was extremely well hidden. She looked at the lush hilltop outside the courtyard, smiled slightly, and spit out two words:
"Emerald Flower."
Shang Haozhi was stunned by her laughter, and reacted in hindsight, with a smile on his dull face:
"Then you must be the most beautiful emerald flower in the world." Mu Ningjiu's heart was cold, and he was about to go out to breathe when he raised his legs, but he felt a gust of wind suddenly blowing behind him. She picked up the short dagger and waved it, only to hear a soft sound of "bang", and the fiery Luo Shan was cut off by her. Shang Haozhi looked at the piece of fabric in his hand, then at the short dagger held by Mu Ningjiu, and said with a sneer:
"The girl's family, it's better to don't touch this sharp weapon, accidentally scratch yourself, it's not good-looking, put it down, I won't do anything to you."
Mu Ning Jiubelly: Ha, you won't do anything to me? The incense you carried through the door betrayed your purpose this time, right? If she hadn't been proficient in pharmacology, she would have suffered the most. looks honest and dull, and his mind is so dirty. She sneered, and the short dagger in her hand tightened: If it weren't for the fact that there were many people in the Shang Mansion, you would have died many times.
A cool breeze suddenly blew by his side, and the faint scent of plants washed away the sweet smell in the air. The corners of her mouth hooked, and she heard the sound of the knife coming out of its sheath:
"What are you doing here?!! The magnetic voice was faintly dangerous, and the anger was released invisibly.
"Well, who do I say? Shang Jin, you are neither male nor female, and you still learn from others to dance guns and swords? I don't think so, is the knife holding steadily? I'm just here to chat with Miss Cuihua. How? She didn't marry you, why do you care so much? Shang Haozhi shouted, reaching out to brush away the knife around his neck, but unexpectedly, the blade turned, and it was only an inch away from his carotid artery.
"You can try and move again." He said coldly.
The hand on Shang Haozhi's side trembled slightly, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Hmph! Have you gotten tougher? Oh, but it still doesn't change your essence...... What kind of man are you? If something happens to the Shang Mansion and you're still at large, what can you do? Shang Jin suddenly hooked his lips, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and he said compassionately:
"What can I do? Soon you will find out. He stared at the person who came, and the cold air was all over his body, Shang Haozhi couldn't help but shrink his neck: How do you feel that Shang Jin has changed a lot since he came back? The knife was suddenly lowered, bringing a cool breeze. His face was gloomy, he tilted his head and snorted, and walked forward. Suddenly feeling a chill in his vest, he shivered, and reached out with trembling to touch a piece of exposed skin behind his back.
"Listen, if you dare to trouble her in the future, my knife will not just cut your clothes."
Seeing the back figure leave dejectedly, Mu Ningjiu stared at Shang Jin. The latter was murderous and stretched out his hand to beckon. She walked over and sat in his arms, the hands on her waist and shoulders tightened, and the warm breath sprayed in her ears, bringing waves of numbness:
"I really wish you would marry tomorrow to see who dares to covet my Shang Jin's woman."
……
As soon as I entered the door, another strange smell came. Beigong Han frowned: Piercing the intestines? I heard that it was a poison developed by the sect leader of the Feng Sect, didn't he come here today? If so, is it really impossible to recruit apprentices?
There were a few "bangs", and in an instant, three or four people had convulsions, spat blood from their mouths, and fell down one after another. Shen Wan's face turned pale and she bit her lip: It's just recruiting apprentices, why use such an extreme way? Tiger Roaring Xuan, the reason for its construction is so high-sounding, but I don't know how many bloody and cruel things that have been carried out underground. The rest of the people saw that someone was dead, and their faces were extremely ugly, and they glanced at the door behind them, as if they wanted to retreat, but they heard the wooden door "clang" shut. The masked man in black made a gesture to signal the rest of the men to follow, and then took the lead out of the wide side door; The small bottle hanging from his waist slammed into the saber with a crisp clanging sound that echoed through the dimly lit space.
Immediately afterward, they were torn and twisted, through the stone doors and hidden grids, to a wide, windowless enclosed space. An oil lamp overhead flickered faintly, illuminating the twenty or thirty people in the room. Seeing that the stone gate was closed, a big man with a big shape at the head cleared his throat and said in a rough voice:
"It's said that it's an assessment, and it tricked us all here, could it be that there is another plan?"
"Alas, big brother, what do you say? The Feng Jiao faction is the number one poisonous sect in the world, and the exam is definitely different from other sects, now you are timid, and you want to retreat, it is estimated that when the time comes, you will definitely fail! A young man in a white shirt said.
"Phew! What are you talking nonsense about, you hairy boy? When Lao Tzu was wandering the rivers and lakes, you didn't know that you were born in haunts, and you were timid...... Hmph, what a joke! The big man scoffed.
"You ......"
It didn't take long for another complaint from the crowd:
"Where is the man who just brought us here? Is this already tested or not, but it squeaks......"
"That's it."
Beigong Han said in a low voice:
"What the hell is this Feng Jiao faction doing?"
"I don't know, be careful around, maybe there's a mechanism." Wei Chixuan reminded.
Shen Wan nodded, and just as she wanted to speak, she heard someone exclaim: "Look, her eyes are blue!" ”
