Dream home. After listening to what Wen Yi said, Mu Siyu lowered her head, opened the drawer, and took out a box from inside.
"Since you are going to the capital with King Zhong, I will leave this thing to you to protect yourself! You are not like King Zhong. Although King Zhong was poisoned by poison, his force is very powerful. You have been in poor health since you were a child.
If you are so weak all the time, if someone wants to kill you, it will be like strangling an ant. This thing can give you a better chance of surviving at the critical moment."
Wen Yi opened the box and saw several small boxes inside.
Open the first box and inside is a wrench.
There is a hosta in the second box.
In the third box is a bracelet, which is black and doesn't look very good, but it is very suitable for men.
In the fourth box is a belt.
"Ahem, keep the belt. This is not suitable for you." Mu Siyu took the belt back in time when she saw it.
Wen Yi knew that these things were definitely not as simple as they looked. He looked around and found that they all had mechanisms. Especially the bracelet, which could be equipped with blades or fine needles, which was a good thing for self-defense.
"These things were originally given to Mr. Lu, right?"
"Yes." Mu Siyu did not deny it. "I found out about a good blacksmith when I first came here. I drew a picture and asked him to build it for me. But you are going to the capital and your future is uncertain, so you should need them more."
"My wife met me by chance, and not only saved me from danger, but also helped me survive. Now that she has given me such a precious thing, I really don't know if I can repay this kindness to my wife in my lifetime."
"You can definitely do it. As long as you live well, there will always be a time when you can return my favor." Mu Siyu said, "I help you, firstly, because you are a very good friend of mine. During this time, you have helped me earn a lot of money."
I don’t have enough money. Secondly, your trip to the capital this time will definitely be full of dangers, and I don’t want to hear bad news about you. I’ll give you something more to protect your life, so that it will be easier to collect debts when you go to the capital in the future. Thirdly, I want you to hold onto King Zhong’s thigh.
"
"I will definitely live well." Wen Yi smiled.
"Then... I wish you good luck." Mu Siyu said, "I won't see you off."
After Wen Yi left, Zi Su and Zi Yuan talked about King Zhong's return to the capital.
"The courtyard has just been built and Prince Zhong is about to return to the capital. Wouldn't it be in vain?"
"I can still be a local emperor here. If I return to the capital..."
"Why are you so worried? After the other courtyard is built, it is their business whether anyone can live in it. What does it have to do with us? Anyway, we collected the money, so it is not in vain." Mu Siyu said, "The Qin family
Is there still no news over there? It’s only ten days’ journey from here to Dian Jade City. It stands to reason that there should be news coming back.”
Things here have come to an end, and she wants to go back to Hubei City.
However, if Xia Kun didn't come back, she couldn't leave either.
"I just went to ask, but there is no news so far," Zisu said.
"Okay, let's wait a few more days." No news is good news, at least it means that nothing has happened to them for the time being.
Jiang Zhong knocked on the door and said inside: "Master, Boss Qi wants to see you."
"Please come in," Mu Siyu said.
The door opened and Ruan Qi stepped in.
"Shion, make tea."
"No need." Ruan Qi said, "Can you ask them to retreat first? I have something I want to talk to you alone."
"Okay, then you go and guard outside the door." Mu Siyu ordered.
Ruan Qi and Mu Siyu were the only two people left in the room.
Zisu tugged at Ziyuan's clothes: "Ziyuan, you are smarter than me. What do you think Boss Qi wants to do?"
"What can two women do?" Ziyuan said, "It must be business matters."
"Yes." Zi Su said, "But Boss Qi is so beautiful. It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman. It is said that the business of 'Only This One' is better than ours because Boss Qi has many suitors."
In the room, Ruan Qi placed an iron box in front of Mu Siyu.
"Boss Mu, can you open this kind of lock?"
Mu Siyu looked at the lock in front of her and flipped through it curiously.
"There are pictures of the twelve zodiac signs on it. Is there any pattern to this? Is it in the order of the twelve zodiac signs? No, it can't be that simple. This lock is interesting, where did it come from?"
"This is a gift from the elders in the family, but I haven't opened it yet." Ruan Qi said, "You can't open it forcefully. There are mechanisms inside."
"Each zodiac sign has a pattern, and each pattern is different and weird..." Mu Siyu said, "I can't understand this for a while, so let me make a rubbing of this picture and study it.
one time."
"Then I'll trouble you." Ruan Qi did not refuse. "By the way, when I came in just now, I accidentally saw a bed in your store with a corner that was not nailed firmly. Please send someone to check it, so as not to ruin your reputation.
"
"Thank you for the reminder, I will check it out." Mu Siyu said seriously.
It was easy to find the bed in question. When I asked who made it, it turned out that it was Jiang Zhong's apprentice, and he was immediately deducted three days' wages as a warning to others.
A few days later, the lock was still not released, and Xia Kun and Qin Wenhan came back.
"Brother Xia was injured because he was trying to save me." Qin Wenhan said gratefully, "If it weren't for Brother Xia, I would have died in the village."
"What about those bandits?"
"The government sent troops to destroy them." Xia Kun said, "Master Lu personally led the team."
"He's here?" Mu Siyu looked at the door but didn't see Lu Yi.
"He was called away by King Zhong." Xia Kun said, "King Zhong was about to leave for the capital. When he learned that he was coming, he called him over."
"Oh." Mu Siyu responded in disappointment. "Are you injured? Please ask the doctor to bandage Brother Xia's wound."
While the doctor was bandaging Xia Kun's wound, Qin Wenhan and Mu Siyu talked about the dangers on the road.
"I didn't want to ask the government for help. I don't know how Mr. Lu knew about it, so he personally led the troops to exterminate the bandits. Speaking of which, I was the one who caused you trouble. If it hadn't been for the messy things in my family, your goods wouldn't have been destroyed.
On the way there, the goods were damaged by bandits. I sent someone to explain the situation to the guests in Dian Jade City and compensate them for their losses. Of course, I will also compensate for your losses."
"So it's not an accident that the bandits intercepted your Qin family's caravan?"
"Someone is targeting me." Qin Wenhan said, "To be honest, I have been away from home for many years and only came back in recent months. It may be because I destroyed the interests of some people when I came back, so I bribed the bandits to attack me.
"
If it weren't for Xia Kun, he would have died in the hands of bandits.
Those bandits wanted not only silver, but also his life. His life could be exchanged for ten thousand taels of silver.
"It's true that wealthy families have a lot of troubles, and everyone has their own troubles." Mu Siyu said, "The young master's family has done a great job, so there is no need to feel sorry."
