Chapter 43 One Word, One Tooth

This was not the first time Mu Cheng came to the capital, but it was the first time he stayed in such a nice small courtyard.

The first few times he came, he always stayed in an inn.

Although this small courtyard is small, it is very delicate. In late autumn and early winter, the leaves are turning yellow, which is quite elegant.

It made him want to recite a poem.

"One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces..."

I hummed the last two sentences for a long time but couldn't think of them, so I simply rolled my sleeves.

forget about it.

If the matter is completed this time, he can also live in this prosperous capital city, find a job, work as an aide to an official or something, and there is no need to study hard or write any kind of poetry.

He sipped his wine and couldn't help but admire it.

This is called a day!

Compared to the poverty in the countryside, that one deserves to be alive!

He squinted and looked at the falling leaves on the trees.

Hmm? Why does it feel like it’s falling so much and so fast?

Taking a closer look, he suddenly opened his drunken eyes, why...he still lost someone?

Before he could see clearly as he rubbed his eyes, he saw that the man ignored him and walked directly to the courtyard door and opened it.

Outside the door, a man walked in again.

This man was holding a riding crop in his hand, wearing a black cloak, and a long sword was half-hidden and half-revealed at his waist. He was filled with murderous aura, his aura was as ice-like as the sea, and he was rolling towards him with a chill on his face.

He was so frightened that the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"you……"

He wanted to ask who the other person was, but his tongue was tied and he couldn't even ask.

Feng Tianji walked to the bottom of the steps and looked at Mu Cheng.

At first he thought he was some kind of talented person, but he had countless thoughts in his mind on the way here. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, it really made him want to laugh in anger.

An old cloth robe is worn loosely around the body, and the hair is slightly disheveled. What is this? The bohemian look of a scholar?

Because of drinking, there was a red patch on both sides of his face, which looked extremely funny. His eyes were full of fear and he smelled of alcohol.

Feng Tianji's face became colder and colder. How dare you call Nan Zhaoxue "Xue'er" for someone like this?

The riding crop lightly tapped the side of his leg, and Mu Cheng felt like it was hitting his heart. The man's eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he was going to cut him alive.

"Are you Mu Cheng?"

"Yes Yes."

"Well, I ask, you answer, don't say a word too much, don't lie, otherwise, one word, one tooth, do you understand?"

Mu Cheng felt a slight toothache at this moment and nodded hurriedly.

"where are you from?"

"Come from... Fengzi Town, Nanjiazhuang."

"Who asked you to come?"

"……Myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Tianji turned his head and looked at Yum beside him.

Before he could see clearly, he felt the world spin. He jumped up into the air and slammed down hard. His mouth hit the ground. The burning pain was quickly covered up by the pain all over his body.

He couldn't get up for a long time, his bones felt like they had been smashed, his head was buzzing, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a pair of boots approaching, and then ran away happily.

"No more, no less, exactly three!" Yum replied, holding Mu Cheng's three teeth.

Feng Tianji's eyes were cold and disgusting.

Yum swallowed, hurriedly threw the tooth out of the wall, and then dragged Mu Cheng back again.

Mu Cheng looked at the pair of boots in front of him. They were different from the pair just now. This pair was made of black brocade and embroidered with dark chinchilla patterns. They were extremely luxurious.

"You won't ask the same question twice. It's the same question as before. Think about it before answering. If you make a mistake, keep tapping your teeth."

Mu Cheng struggled to get up, his fingers trembling and his lips felt numb.

His heart was about to jump out of his chest and he was so scared that his whole body became weak.

"I...it was someone from the Nan family who asked me to come."

Feng Tianji's face turned frosty: "Continue."



Nan Zhaoxue picked a lot of medicinal materials from the warehouse, all of which were top-grade. Many of them were rewarded by the palace. Feng Tianji was ill before, so the medicinal materials and supplements were delivered to the mansion like water.

Nan Zhaoxue is satisfied. These are what she loves most. She used to have to accompany the army when she was in the army. She didn't have much time, and the best Chinese medicinal materials were too expensive, so she couldn't use them as she pleased.

She asked Aunt Cui to help Shan clean up a small room to use as a small pharmacy for refining medicine. She went in and came out only when it was getting late.

When I got to the yard, I unexpectedly discovered that Feng Tianji was there.

The wall between the two courtyards was demolished, and he stood under the tree, with the moonlight shining through the gaps in the leaves and falling on him.

The silhouette is equally beautiful.

Nan Zhaoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, and Feng Tianji turned to look at her: "Come here."

Nan Zhaoxue frowned again and stood still.

Feng Tianji seemed to smile, but his voice was still cold: "Let you meet someone."

Yum stood behind him, raised his hand and threw a long package, and the package moved.

Yefeng immediately became more vigilant and moved over to take a look.

"Master, it's that person."

Nan Zhaoxue went over to take a look, and Feng Tianji ordered someone to turn on a lamp to illuminate the face.

"Is it you?" Nan Zhaoxue was confused and asked Feng Tianji, "Why is he here?"

Feng Tianji chuckled: "Why didn't you tell me about him?"

Nan Zhaoxue was even more confused: "What do you mean by an unrelated idler? Could it be that what I ate today, drank a few sips of water, met several vendors on the street, and bought several kinds of snacks, I want to tell you one by one.

?”

"Then give me a secretary and let him record the whole process. I can't do it myself."

Feng Tianji didn't understand what "secretary" meant, but he understood that in Nan Zhaoxue's eyes, there was no difference between this Mu Cheng and other small businessmen selling snacks and so on.

His gloomy face slowly turned clear, and he cleared his throat: "I didn't mean that. I just think that he is related to the Nan family, and you should say what you say to prevent others from taking advantage of the loophole."

Nan Zhaoxue asked back: "What kind of loophole? It's just that there is something ambiguous between this man and me, so that he deliberately provokes you and me.

This low-level trick and dirty means can be seen without even the naked eye. I am too lazy to pay attention to it, and you won't be fooled either!"

Feng Tianji: "..."

I was speechless.

Feng Tianji felt a little guilty inexplicably, and touched his nose: "You are absolutely right. However, everyone has been brought here, and I have asked them clearly. If they don't use it, it will be in vain. Since they use such a disgusting trick, then...

Treat others in their own way."

Nan Zhaoxue didn't quite agree: "If a dog bites you, are you going to bite the dog too?"

Feng Tianji: "..."

Yum couldn't hold it back, he burst out laughing, pretended to cough again, stepped aside and coughed violently.

Nan Zhaoxue looked at Mu Cheng's face and felt annoyed: "You're right, they disgusted me, and I didn't fight back because they thought I was afraid of them. Okay, what are you going to do?"

Feng Tianji took a deep breath and explained the plan.

Nan Zhaoxue shook his head: "It's not enough, add more."

"What?"

The corners of Nan Zhaoxue's mouth curled up slightly, and she lowered her eyes to look at Mu Cheng.
