Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

After a rare day's rest, Chu Xinle went to the Alchemy Department earlier.

Before Hou Yingnan arrived, he entered the door and saw that the blood clots in the basin beside him had not yet been put in. He smiled and asked the maid beside him, "Is the pig's blood fresh today?"

He is gentle and considerate, and looks so good that he has never seen it before. How could the servant girl bear Chu Xinle's teasing, so she opened the chat box and said honestly: "I don't know it very well, just put it in every day, but the smelly The smell is strong, if it is pig blood, the smell will dissipate after a night, it should be fresh."

Chu Xinle nodded, and smiled back at him: "Thank you for your hard work."

The servant girl's face turned red instantly, she immediately shook her head, and hurriedly said: "No, no, this is all a servant's job."

The blood clots were steamed by the heat in the room, and the smell of bitter medicine mixed with blood filled the air.

When it was time to let the blood clots out, Hou Yingnan yawned and was helped in. Seeing that Chu Xinle was still obsequious, he walked to Chu Xinle's side trembling with fat, and finally spoke: "Ming'er seems to be interested in these blood clots." interest?"

Chu Xinle glanced at him, seeing the hand of the servant girl who was throwing blood clots into the medicine stove, the white fingers were covered with residual blood, some of which melted and flowed down the fingers.

"I want to know what kind of medicine is made from pig blood?" Hou Yingnan asked again.

Only then did Chu Xinle reflect, and looked sideways at Hou Yingnan. The steaming heat in the room made his eyebrows and eyes clear. In this bitter and smelly alchemy department, he looked like he was out of this world. .

"That's right, who wouldn't want to know what they're doing?" Chu Xinle asked back.

He admitted too quickly, without even a trace of hesitation, which made Hou Yingnan a little overwhelmed.

"So, Mr. Hou, do you want to tell me?" Chu Xinle looked downcast, but the brisk uplift in her tone showed a bit of playfulness.

Hou Yingnan glanced at the jade bracelet on Chu Xinle's wrist in a blink of an eye, her bewitched heart slowly calmed down, and instead of answering, she asked, "This bracelet is not fake. No one in Runan can find such an exquisite fake bracelet."

Chu Xinle raised his wrist without hesitation, he didn't even notice the light in his eyes, he nodded and replied: "There is no such exquisite fake bracelet in Runan." Fu raised his head and smiled at Hou Yingnan again, with some pride in his words : "Unfortunately, I found it."

"..."

"you and......"

"It's getting late, this medicine looks like it's about to be boiled out," Chu Xinle interrupted him, glanced at the steaming lid of the medicine furnace, and said, "The medicine has to be taken to suit the symptoms. poison."

Chen Fan waited outside the medicine refining office, and when he saw his master coming out, he went up to meet him.

"Find out?" Chu Xinle asked.

Chen Fan was a little dejected, shook his head and said: "The courtyard where Shi Enze lives is guarded by layers of guards, and there is no way to start."

"Is it really pig's blood?" Chen Fan asked.

"The smell of pig's blood will disappear after a night..." Chu Xinle replied.

The two walked forward slowly.

Chen Fan thought for a moment, then said in doubt, "Could it be that they kill pigs and bleed them every day?"

"Maybe it's not killing and releasing now." Chu Xinle immediately denied it.

"not saying......"

"What if it's not pig's blood?" Chu Xinle interrupted him, stopped in his tracks, and there was no one around, Chen Fan felt that the spring breeze brought a chill like a knife.

"What kind of blood, after a few days, it still has a strong fishy smell." Chu Xin laughed happily, seeing that she was about to reach her own yard, and walked forward.

"Could it be..." Chenfan understood instantly.

"Go and find out if anyone is missing in Runan or nearby areas." Chu Xinle said.

Chenfan didn't stop after getting the order, and his legs turned over from the back wall before he stepped into the yard.

Chu Xinle went into the yard and found Huo Gang waiting outside, not practicing his sword, with his hands behind his back, he seemed to be waiting for him.

"Master." Chu Xinle called to Huo Gang.

Huo Gang nodded, walked over, smiled and said nothing.

"Why did master come so early today?" Usually, he would be called to practice swords only after the sky got darker, but today it was still bright.

"Shi...A Le." Huo Gang is not used to this address, but Chu Xinle wants him to call it that way.

"Huh?" Chu Xinle responded to him with a smile.

Huo Gang seemed to be used to this address, he called out again: "Ale."

"Master, I'm here." Chu Xinle didn't feel annoyed, and patiently coaxed the old boy.

Huo Gang burst out laughing instantly, stretched out one hand from behind to pat Chu Xinle's shoulder, and stretched out the other.

Chu Xinle saw Huo Gang holding two knives in his hand, one was a long sword and the other was a dagger. They were similar in shape but different in length. The handles of the knives were both engraved with peony patterns, and the leather scabbard was a little harder.

Chu Xinle took the long knife and pulled it out to see that the blade was thin and sharp, indicating that he was not suitable for cutting and stabbing, but he could easily cut off the ligaments of blood vessels and joints. It can be fastened around the waist so that people cannot notice it, and it swings like a whip or a sword, which shows that the speed of the sword user should be extremely flexible and fast. The next blow is hard to guard against, and the lethality is extremely strong.

However, although the handle and scabbard of that dagger are the same as a soft sword, it looks totally different when pulled out. offal.

"You are intelligent by nature. At first, I judged people by their appearance. My vision was low. I, Huo Gang, have taught you everything I have learned all my life. You need to practice hard every day. Practice makes perfect. Although these two swords are old, they have always followed me. I am stupid. , I can’t use it, but you are different, I see that you used to know kung fu, and you are very talented, I will give them to you today as a teacher.” Huo Gang stroked the scabbard, patted it twice, and withdrew his hand.

These two swords are enough to be Chu Xinle's protective talisman. They are strong enough for both long-distance and melee combat.

Chu Xinle couldn't take his eyes off the two new swords in his hand, and said, "Master really wants to give it to me?"

Huo Gang laughed loudly. He put his hand on his waist and stroked the old sword: "It is enough for Master to have this sword. You don't need anything else. You don't need it. No one will use it anymore."

Chu Xinle looked directly at Huo Gang and asked, "Master, do you have a name?"

Huo Gang shook his head and sighed: "No, you come and get your sword."

Chu Xin thought for a moment, and said: "The long sword leads to the yellow, and the short sword is like madness."

***

Yun Duan has been busy with the business of Yun's shop for a few days now, and these days he is free, but he can't be free, running around the workshop all day, Qin didn't bother him a few days ago, but today I don't know what the wind is blowing , Waiting for him in Yun Duanmu's house.

Seeing Yun Duanmu who was drunk, Qin put down the teacup calmly, poured a cup of tea for Yun Duanmu like a mother and handed it to him to sober up.

After thanking Yun Duan, he took it over, sat in a chair beside him, let out a sigh of relief, and asked, "Why is mother free today?"

"Come and see you." Qin said.

"Aren't I the same as before?" Yun Duan glanced at Tweet who was beside Qin, and smiled meanly.

"Did the person who sent you the letter find out?" Qin asked directly without talking to him.

Yun Duanmu returned to normal, raised his hand and sent everyone out of the room, leaving only the two of them and Tweet beside Qin.

"I've checked, but I haven't found out yet. This person knows all about the Yun family's accounts and stores, but he's been on our side but he's been refusing to show up." Yun Duanmu shook his head contemptuously, and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know this person. Is it stupid or not interested in money."

Qin Shi turned the jade ring on her index finger, but didn't speak.

Cui'er poured another cup of tea for Yun Duanmu with a knowing wink.

"I don't think so." Qin Shi thought for a long time, and said: "This person has been unwilling to show his face from the beginning to the end. Either he is indifferent to fame and fortune or ambitious, and he is on our side?" Qin Shi snorted coldly: "I don't believe it."

"Huh? What does mother mean..."

"Ji Wuya has gone down the mountain, under Yun Jiming's hands." Qin said suddenly.

"What? When! Why didn't I know?" Yun Duanmu's expression changed suddenly, and most of the redness on his face faded from drunkenness.

Qin rolled his eyes at him, and could not hide the sneer in his words: "You are busy with the business of the shop every day, and these small things can only be done by mother."

Cui'er glanced at Yun Duanmu, it was obvious that Yun Duanmu couldn't hear the contempt in Qin's words at all.

"Speaking of which, mother." Yun Duanmu leaned back and leaned forward, and he said to Qin carefully: "A few days ago, I came in to batch the goods. I heard that it is a fairy medicine, which can cure all diseases. People who eat it can hold back their breath, and it is widely circulated on the black market, and I also bought a batch at a high price."

Qin's eyes suddenly turned to him sharply, and her tone was cold, she asked, "Do you know what kind of medicine it is so you dare to take it?"

"Whatever medicine it is." Yun Duan waved his hands nonchalantly, got up and took off his coat, looking like he didn't want to say more, and wanted to rest: "If it can make money, it's a good medicine."

Qin Shi also stood up and said: "No matter what medicine you sell, the Yun family is bound to win for us now, but Ji Wuya staying by Yun Jiming's side is always a disaster. He is not only good at medicine, but also clear-headed." Smart, back then your father Yun Tingke asked him to come down from the mountain to enter the world three times but to no avail, but Yun Jiming was able to bring him down, which would be a fatal injury to you."

A reminder of Qin's words in plain language and in secret.

Yun Duanmu hung his clothes slowly, looked back at Qin, and said: "Mother is afraid of me being defeated? What is he like Ji Wuya, now all the shops of Yun's family all over the Central Plains are in my hands. The devil is turning the mill, I have a lot of silver, and I am afraid that he will be a doctor for the sick?"

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, you have worked so hard to get all the money under your hands, can you bear to see him go into Yun Zhiming's pocket?" Qin Shi stretched out a hand, and Tweety immediately helped him up, It looks like he is going back.

Yun Duanmu was a little irritable, he let out a few mouthfuls of anger and forbearance, then laughed like a madman, and growled at Qin Shi: "It's all mine, he Yun Ming never wants to get a little bit of it, Ji Wuya? Afraid What is he doing, if mother is so afraid, then put an end to future troubles, I will definitely kill him."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Qin Shi curled up her lips that had been smeared with vermilion, she smiled at Yun Duanmu, and said softly before leaving: "Then do it well."
