Chapter 490 - 91

373  Zhuzi breathed a sigh of relief, and Cuiju said, "Well, don't worry, no one has entered our house today, you can't lose, come on, get to work."

  "Hey hey."

  Zhuzi immediately started sweeping the floor with a broom. Cuiju turned and left, but there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes. This kid might have a problem. No, she had to report it to the lady.

  Thinking of Cui Ju, she rushed to Su Yunjin's courtyard.

  Cui Ju was born into a family of officials. She knew everything about the inner court and was very vigilant, so she was more cautious than others. If it weren't for her cautiousness, the fact that she seduced the master would be enough to expel her.

  As a result, she was not kicked out. On the contrary, she was promoted to the position of maid manager. This is Su Yunjin's way of employing people.

  Kindness!

  Cui Ju quickly ran to Su Yunjin's room. Su Yunjin was correcting students' homework with a cinnabar pen. He circled the wrong places in red and praised the well-written papers.

  Yin Hongmei stood quietly by the side with her hands hanging down.

  But her eyes remained fixed on the test paper in front of her, because it was hers.

  Su Yunjin got all ten questions right. He wrote on the test paper: "A sword is sharpened by grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

  Seeing these words, Yin Hongmei was somewhat moved. It was not easy for her to reach this level through her hard work. Moreover, she was almost the oldest among these students, already fourteen years old.

  If she doesn't work harder, she will never have another chance to work hard again.

  Yin Hongmei remained silent. At this moment, there was a light knock on the door. Su Yunjin was awakened from his grading. He looked up at Yin Hongmei and said, "Hongmei, open the door."

  Yin Hongmei went over to open the door and saw Cui Ju.

  "Sister Hongmei!"

  Cui Ju is older than Hong Mei, but Hong Mei is the head maid, so Cui Ju calls her Sister Hong Mei to show respect.

  "Um, what's up?"

  "I'm looking for my wife."

  Cui Ju said, and after hearing this, Yin Hongmei took a step back and said, "Come in."

  "lady."

  Cui Ju bowed to Su Yunjin. Su Yunjin glanced at Cui Ju and said, "Oh, Cui Ju, are you done with your work?"

  Cui Ju said, "We are done, Madam. I have something to report to you. It seems that there are spies from other people sneaking into our inner courtyard."

  "oh?"

  Su Yunjin was stunned, then turned to Yin Hongmei and said, "Close the door."

  "Tell me about it."

  Cui Ju said: "It's like this, just now, the sweeping pillar..."

  Cui Ju told the whole story from beginning to end. Su Yunjin nodded gently and said, "Yes, it is very suspicious. Hongmei, go call Si Xi."

  "yes."

  Hongmei went straight to call Sixi. Sixi could do a lot of things, so she didn't want to disturb Chen Jie. After all, Chen Jie was very busy now.

  Soon Si Xi rushed over: "Madam."

  Si Xi bowed to Su Yunjin, who stood up and said, "Si Xi, I'm asking you to come here during your busy schedule because of something, Cui Ju."

  Upon hearing this, Cui Ju immediately started talking about what happened today. After listening to Cui Ju's report, Si Xi had a strange expression on his face and did not speak immediately.

  Su Yunjin said: "Si Xi, do you understand?"

  "I understand. Is this information useful? And will it not cause harm to my husband?"

  Si Xi said, "Madam, don't worry. The hall master knows that Zhuzi is a spy, and he has investigated it thoroughly. He was sent by Tang Ziyue, a subordinate of Nan Batian."

  "Ah, this, if you know, why do you still keep him?"

  Su Yunjin asked in confusion, Si Xi said: "Madam, this exposed spy is the safest. With him around, he can be of great use sometimes. I didn't expect that this kid was so anxious to make a contribution that Miss Cui Ju saw through it."

  Cui Ju nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "Master Si Xi, please forgive me for making fun of you. I hope my rudeness did not affect the plans of the hall master and you."

  Si Xi said, "That's fine, but Miss Cui Ju, what you did has reminded me. How about you do me a favor?"

  Cui Ju said, "I only follow Madam's orders. If Madam agrees, I agree."

  Si Xi looked at Su Yunjin, and Su Yunjin said, "Well, what's the matter? Tell me."

  "That's right. I hope Miss Aster can help me pass a message to Zhu."

  Cui Ju looked at Si Xi and asked, "Fake news?"

  Si Xi said, "No, it's true news."

  "Ah, real news?"

  Cui Ju was stunned. How could she tell the real news? If she told the real news, wouldn't she really become a spy? Cui Ju looked at Si Xi with a puzzled look.

  Si Xi laughed and said, "Because sometimes true news is more useful than false news, haha..."

  Si Xi laughed and said, "Okay, I've completed the task assigned to me by the hall master."

  …

  At this time in the study, Han He looked at Cui Ju who was walking out and said, "Your maid is quite cunning. She didn't sneak onto your bed, did she? I'm really worried about your wife. Can she stand so many coquettish bitches?"

  Upon hearing this, Chen Jie poured himself a cup of tea and said, "How about you come and help my wife?"

  "What do you mean, taking my sister as a concubine?"

  Han He looked at Chen Jie with a smile and said, "Chen Jiusi, you are not very old, but I didn't expect you to have such a frivolous mind. Sister is very powerful. Can you bear it?"

  After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Han He and said, "You can't do it alone. You two should be a pair. It will be more fun if you work together."

  "You are such a pervert. I warn you, you can do whatever you want with me, but don't go after my sister."

  Han He looked at Chen Jie.

  "What a good sister. I'm touched."

  Chen Jie looked touched. Han He said, "I'm not kidding. Stay away from my sister, okay?"

  Chen Jie waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I'm not some lustful demon who goes crazy when I see a woman. I only admire women. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Have you got the weapons?"

  Han He heard this and said, "Well, A-Lian has returned to the city and said that everything has been salvaged and loaded onto trucks and shipped away."

  Chen Jie said: "Well, in this case, as long as we are careful, this batch of weapons can be safely transported to the north."

  Han He looked at Chen Jie and said, "I have to say, you are quite smart."

  Chen Jie smiled but said nothing.

  This was indeed a grand plan. In this plan, Chen Jie not only tricked Nan Batian, but also bypassed everyone's sight and transported this batch of weapons out of the city.

  In fact, this batch of weapons was indeed hidden in the coffins of the Mulan people and transported out of the city.

  Including the tomb address chosen by the people of Mulan, and the Feng Shui master that old Aluta of Mulan liked, all of them were selected by Chen Jie.

  Just to complete this game.

  In this round, Chen Jie started out of the city to attract everyone's attention, and then he hid the weapons in the coffins of the Mulan people and transported them out of the city. When they arrived at the destination outside the city, these Mulan people did not know the Han people's sacrificial methods, so they just sent them here, dug a hole and started burying them.

  Before the burial was completed, the Mulan people left impatiently. After all, they were all neighbors, and all of Tara's immediate family members had died.

  So no one took it seriously.

  After Mu Lanren left, Chen Jie's men opened the coffin and took away all the weapons, but they did not think of transporting them to the Mian River by small boats like Tang Ziyue did.

  Instead, all the weapons were sunk directly to the bottom of the river.

  When Nan Batian and his men arrived, the weapons were sunk to the bottom of the river. If they had looked carefully at the bottom of the river when they walked by the river, they might have found them. However, in that situation, everyone's attention was focused on the coffins, so no one was looking at the bottom of the river.

  It is even more impossible that someone would have nothing better to do and go down to the river to salvage.

  Even when they were paying attention to the river, they were also paying attention to the small boat that Tang Ziyue mentioned. The fact that Tang Ziyue could associate it with the small boat was also Chen Jie's deliberate guidance.

  The main reason here was that Chen Jie suddenly increased the number of small boats mobilized at the Xiantao Ferry by two times. Tang Ziyue had been observing him and naturally knew that he had mobilized small boats. Therefore, he had a preconceived idea and thought that he would use the small boats to transport the military equipment to the river and then switch to merchant ships for transportation.

  But he could not have imagined that Chen Jie did not use river transportation, but switched to land transportation.

  After they all left, Sun Tiechui and others ran over, went down to the river to salvage the weapons, and then transported them away by horse-drawn carriage overnight.

  At this time, all of Yelu's attention was focused on the Mian River. They never thought that the Zoroastrians would abandon the fast water transportation and switch to land transportation. This was Chen Jie's plan!

  Make a feint to the east and attack in the west, conceal the truth from the world!

  Chen Jie took a sip of tea, and Han He said, "Well, since you have fulfilled your promise, we Zoroastrians are not untrustworthy. Here is the recipe for the pill!"

  Han He took out the recipe, and Chen Jie's eyes lit up immediately and he looked at the recipe.

  Then Han He said, "But before we complete the deal, I have one more question for you, Chen Jiusi, if you really don't consider joining our Zoroastrianism, with your wisdom and hard work, as long as you are willing to work, I guarantee that you will become the leader of Huangzhou Prefecture in our Zoroastrianism within three years."

  After hearing this, Chen Jie bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Hongyan. I am almost rotten, and I am used to my freedom. I will not mess with your Zoroastrianism anymore."

  After hearing this, Han He said, "That's a pity. Nuo, I'll give you the recipe. I'll leave first if you're fine."

  Chen Jie got the recipe, opened it and took a look. Yes, it was real. He said to Han He, "Why don't you stay for dinner?"

  Han He said, "My sister is waiting for me to have dinner?"

  "Call them over to eat together."

  Chen Jie laughed, and Han He's face changed and said, "I told you to stay away from my sister."

  Chen Jie said, "Alright, alright, don't get excited, got it, goodbye, I won't see you off."

  Chen Jie quickly sent Han He away, and then began to carefully look at the elixir that could help warriors enter the Qi and Blood Dan state. The name of this elixir was: [Qi and Blood Dan]

  The elixir contains a total of thirty-six auxiliary medicines and two main medicines.

  Chen Jie looked through these auxiliary medicines with a slightly fixed gaze. After looking around, he breathed a sigh of relief, because most of them could be found. Although some were rare, they could still be found or bought.

  But there are a few auxiliary medicines, so it might take some effort.

  For example, this [Hundred-year-old fish bait grass]

  Bait grass is a very common grass that grows by the river. It usually withers once a year and rarely lives more than a year. However, it is said that under some special environments, it can grow for a year. As for the hundred-year bait grass, it refers to a bait grass root that can live for a hundred years.

  You can imagine how difficult this is.

  In addition to this, there are some that are more difficult to find.

  Chen Jie took a piece of paper and wrote it down, about five auxiliary herbs were missing.
