Huang Rong's eyes narrowed and she asked in a cold voice.
"How could this silver needle be displaced?"
"Why are you looking at me like that? You touched it yourself, not me."
"...What are the consequences of the silver needle being displaced?"
While Chen Xuan retracted the needle, he glanced at the silver needle on Guo Jing's neck.
That acupoint is called [Ren Ying], which is one of the eight extraordinary meridians. It is a partial acupoint and is not a fatal point.
However, although it is not life-or-death-threatening, the acupuncture points on a person's body affect the blood and blood vessels, which can be said to affect the whole body.
Now that Huang Rong touched the silver needle, Chen Xuan himself was not sure what the consequences would be, so he could only talk perfunctorily.
"We should know in two days. Now, I have used Ziwu acupuncture to resolve most of Guo Daxia's internal injuries. He will wake up soon."
"Really?!" Huang Rong was overjoyed when she heard this.
Chen Xuan gave a warning.
"Although his internal injuries are mostly healed, the damage to his energy channels is different from the damage caused by swords and fists. He must be carefully nursed back to health. At the same time, you need to pay attention to his emotions and don't let him get angry, so as not to worsen the condition."
Huang Rong was not in the mood to listen to this at this time. She held Guo Jing's face with excitement, looking affectionate.
Chen Xuan naturally knew that it was not the right time to be a light bulb, so he put the silver needle away and stood up to leave.
But as soon as he walked out of the room, he suddenly came back to his senses.
"No, the money hasn't come yet."
Thinking of this, he turned around and wanted to enter the house, but when he thought of Huang Rong's affectionate look, he was too embarrassed to go in and disturb him.
After thinking about it, I could only scratch my head and think of a solution first.
In fact, when people in the martial arts world travel around the world, it is inevitable that there will be times when their pockets are filled with bitterness.
Under normal circumstances, these heroes will choose to rob the rich and give to the poor, in order to help themselves.
Generally speaking, as long as your martial arts skills are high, you can eat and drink anywhere you go.
Although Chen Xuan is new to the world, he still knows how to do this little trick without a teacher.
He turned around and slipped out of Guo's Mansion, and started walking around Xiangyang City, intending to see if there was any dandy or bully committing crimes, so that he could lend a helping hand and rob the rich and give to the poor.
Unexpectedly, under Huang Rong's governance, Xiangyang City seemed to be in a state of peace and prosperity. As we walked along, the vendors on both sides of the street were bustling and noisy, and the people were all smiling.
For a while, I couldn't even find a bad person looking for trouble.
Just when Chen Xuan thought that he might not be able to catch any bad guys today, he saw a sedan chair swinging towards him at the corner of the street.
Although the sedan chariot is not as exaggerated as the eight-carriage sedan, it is also very majestic with a brocade top and yellow coat. At first glance, it looks like a powerful person.
Chen Xuan stood on the street and rubbed his hands, thinking about how to take action, when he only heard a "bang" explosion!
A fish vendor on the street suddenly jumped up, picked up the pole in his hand and patted the sedan chair!
Although the man appeared to be dressed like a fish vendor, he had so much inner strength when he made the move that just by picking up the shoulder pole and smashing it, the sedan chariot exploded!
When the energy came out, all the bearers carrying the sedan were knocked out.
After the broken brocade carriage shed exploded, the base of the sedan carriage was revealed.
Chen Xuan took a closer look and saw that the person in the sedan was actually an acquaintance.
I saw Lu Wende, the official governor of Xiangyang City, holding a concubine on his left and right, with his big belly exposed, as if he hadn't recovered yet.
When the fish vendor saw that it was indeed him in the sedan chair, he immediately shouted.
"Dog officer! Come and accept your fate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the pole and smashed it again!
A fierce light flashed in Lu Wende's eyes in the sedan chair, and he actually pulled the concubine beside him in front of him with his backhand!
Once the pole is lifted, I'm sure this concubine's head will blossom first.
The fish vendor obviously had no intention of holding back, and he picked up his pole and continued his offensive!
"stop!"
Chen Xuan finally couldn't sit still anymore, he jumped up, came first, raised his hand and made it into a claw, and struck out with the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. With the strong energy, he smashed the pole into pieces!
The man wanted to continue attacking, but Chen Xuan struck him with a backhand, sending him flying backwards into the crowd.
This overwhelming strength completely put an end to his thoughts of revenge. He staggered up, turned around and ran into the alley, disappearing without a trace.
"Is it you?"
Before Chen Xuan could take a second look, Lu Wende behind him suddenly spoke.
"Aren't you a disciple of the Beggar Clan?"
"Beggars gang?"
Chen Xuan smiled jokingly.
"Lord Lu, do you think I am a disciple of the Beggar Clan?"
Lu Wende saw that he had great martial arts skills and originally wanted to chat for a few more words, but it would be inappropriate for him to appear on the street like this.
He hesitated for a moment, then waved.
"The young hero is so powerful in martial arts that Mr. Lu really admires him. I wonder if I would like to follow Mr. Lu back to the house to talk about it?"
"Can."
Chen Xuan agreed directly, which made Lu Wende a little dumbfounded.
He originally met Chen Xuan, Lu Youjiao and others, and followed Huang Rong to his city lord's mansion.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan would agree to his invitation so frankly.
Logically speaking, with Huang Rong's temper, the people under her shouldn't be too confrontational with her.
Lu Wende didn't think much about it and directly invited Chen Xuan to return to the city lord's mansion with him.
The two returned to the house and sat down. After a few simple polite words, Chen Xuan directly stated his purpose.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Chen has been in a difficult situation recently. I wonder if Mr. Lu can help?"
"Relief?"
Lu Wende's black bean-like eyes rolled slightly, he quickly understood, clapped his hands and said.
"It's easy to talk about. Since the hero Chen is so happy, I won't hide it anymore. I think the hero is so skilled, how about getting a job in my house?"
"Master Lu, you want to hire me?"
"Master Chen has great martial arts skills, how dare I hire you? I admire the hero's peerless martial arts, and I want to make you my best friend."
"Best friend? What's the price of a best friend?"
Chen Xuan asked this casually, which actually made Lu Wende a little embarrassed.
He didn't expect Chen Xuan to be so direct, but that was fine. He cheered several times and said straightforwardly.
"Okay! I like open-minded people like Brother Chen. I can give you this number."
While speaking, Lu Wende stretched out his hand and made a gesture.
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and probed.
"Is this five hundred taels?"
"Fifty thousand taels of silver! Plus twenty concubines! What do you think, Master Chen?"
"Fifty thousand taels?"
Although I knew how fat Lu Wende was and knew that he had made a lot of money in Xiangyang City, I didn't expect that he could offer a sky-high price of 50,000 taels of silver just by opening his mouth.
Not to mention today's world price, just say that one catty is sixteen taels, fifty thousand taels of silver is more than three thousand catties, and most people may have to move it for several days.
Although Chen Xuan was shocked by Master Lu's heroic handwriting, he was not stupid either.
If Lu Wende could charge such a sky-high price, he would naturally want to make up for it with him.
If not, Lu Wende would not have spent so much money to recruit him.
"Forgive Mr. Chen to be frank, Mr. Lu offered such a sky-high price, Mr. Chen is really flattered. As the saying goes, no reward will be given for no merit. With all this money, Mr. Chen must at least do something for you."
"Don't rush this yet."
Lu Wende laughed and said:
"Daxia Chen and I are just gentlemen, how can we let you bother to deal with some daily chores?"
"Mr. Lu, you are outspoken when you say that."
Chen Xuan didn't want to be in such a roundabout way with him, but this Lu Wende was a man who never told the truth in his words.
After just chatting for a few words, Chen Xuan didn't want to talk nonsense and asked directly.
"In that case, Mr. Chen would rather be respectful than obey his orders. May I ask Mr. Lu, where is the money now?"
"...Chen Daxia wants it now?"
"Yes, at least give me some first, just in case of emergency."
I have to say that Chen Xuan is also a talent.
Lu Wende has never seen such a poor martial arts master. He has recruited some masters before, but most of them are unruly and have high aspirations.
There has never been anyone like Chen Xuan who only wants money.
If Chen Xuan hadn't been sitting and talking to him in a friendly manner, Lu Wende would have thought that this guy was here to steal money.
Although he was a little surprised, Lu Wende still waved to the maid on the side to take out one hundred taels of silver from the accounting room for Chen Xuan to use.
Although one hundred taels is not much, it still weighs several kilograms. If you want to carry it easily, this one hundred taels of silver is almost enough.
Of course, this was mainly because Lu Wende and Chen Xuan met for the first time and didn't quite trust him, otherwise they wouldn't be so picky.
Chen Xuan didn't care about this detail. He was still waiting to get the money to find Zhou Zhiruo.
Not long after, the maid came in carrying a tray with more than a dozen ingots of silver stacked on it.
Chen Xuan picked up the silver and put it in his arms. Seeing this, Lu Wende changed his mind and said hello.
"Master Chen, do you want to choose some concubines for fun?"
"Concubine?"
"Yes, these concubines are all well-known ladies from the official kilns, and there are even a few concubines from the previous dynasties that I have treasured. They are very beautiful and beautiful. I usually only use them to entertain distinguished guests. Chen Daxia is very powerful in martial arts, so he will use them in the future.
If you become famous all over the world, I also intend to make friends with you."
Now that everything has been said, Chen Xuan can't slap Lu Wende in the face.
In fact, he doesn't care about these concubines. As long as he hasn't got the fifty thousand taels of silver yet, it's not appropriate to show his innocence now.
Chen Xuan had already made up his mind, as long as he could extort something from Master Lu.
He left Xiangyang City and went to Jiangnan to buy a house and enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan.
Dangjie nodded repeatedly.
"The former imperial concubine? Isn't that the emperor's wife? Okay, okay, you can bring her over and let me have a look."
Lu Wende still didn't know what he was thinking, but he saw him nodding his head, looking greedy and greedy.
Although he was despised in his heart, he nodded secretly, feeling that Chen Xuan and he had similar personalities and could be put to good use.
He then clapped his hands and ordered his servants to bring in two women in palace attire. They looked naturally pretty and noble.
Chen Xuan glanced at it and found that he was actually not interested. However, since Lu Wende had already sent them over, he held one by the other and turned around to say thanks.
"Then thank you Lord Lu for your hospitality. If you have anything to do in the future, please come to Guo Mansion to see me. I am currently staying in Guo Jing's Guo Daxia Mansion."
"Yeah?"
Lu Wende's eyes flashed with a strange color, but he concealed it very well and never showed it at all, he just said.
"Okay, then I should come to trouble Master Chen soon."
"No trouble, no trouble, as long as the money is in place, everything will be easy."
Chen Xuan chuckled, hugged the two beautiful women and walked out of the living room, leaving Lu Wende's face instantly gloomy.
He lowered his eyebrows and looked at Chen Xuan's back coldly, wondering what kind of calculation he had in his heart.
