351 Huang Waner: Husband, please love me
The plan of heading north to Guangmingding was finalized, and Chen Jiusi first talked about it with Ni Wenjun.
Ni Wenjun said that he had been staying in Qianjiang Prefecture recently. Old Peng had already gone north, so he would not go to Xiangyang. Even if he went there, he would just have to argue with Zhao Pusheng and Xu Shouhui, and he was too lazy to argue with them.
It just so happened that he was also training the army in Qianjiang Prefecture during this period of time. If the Xu people were blind, he would not indulge them.
Hua Sanniang stayed in Chen's house, just in time to chat with Su Yunjin, so she didn't have to stay in the army every day with the soldiers.
She is pregnant now, so don't disturb her. It's not good. It's also good for her to stay in Chen's house to take care of the baby. And even if she follows Ni Wenjun recently, the two of them can't do things that are popular with the public, so as not to hurt the child.
So Hua Sanniang stayed in the Chen Mansion.
Chen Jie welcomed this. After all, Hua Sanniang's personality was quite likable, and Su Yunjin and Hua Sanniang also got along very well. In addition, Hua Sanniang was Ni Wenjun's weak spot, and it was just right to place her in the Chen Mansion. In this way, this big brother Chen could not escape from his Five Fingers Mountain.
Although brothers should not have too many thoughts about each other, but then again, even if they are brothers, there is still the necessary emotional connection to maintain. It won't work without emotional connection, so Chen Jie also used some means to maintain the relationship between the two.
Of course, it can also be called human relations and worldly wisdom.
Chen Jie and Ni Wenjun drank until the afternoon, and they both enjoyed themselves very much. With their current cultivation level in the Furnace Realm, it was quite difficult for them to get drunk.
However, Ni Wenjun still got himself drunk. Although the numbness caused by the alcohol would disappear immediately if he circulated his Qi for two cycles, he was not willing to get rid of the numbness brought by the alcohol.
Only when he is numbed by alcohol does he feel that he is free.
Ni Wenjun was originally an unrestrained person. Power was not what he wanted to pursue. Having power meant being restrained, whether actively or passively.
What he wants to do is to be a knight who travels around the world, taking revenge and living freely.
I have no desire for a title of nobility, but I wish for a peaceful sea.
This is what Ni Wenjun pursues, but there is no way. The whole world is a mess, and it is difficult for him to stay out of it.
To put it in modern terms, the overall environment was not good and Ni Wenjun did not dare to quit his job and look for his own freedom.
Now I can only join Chen Jiusi's entrepreneurial company and wait for the big thing. When the time comes, I can take the original shares, quit my job, and travel around the world. Wouldn't that be great!
This is Ni Wenjun's current situation.
Seeing that Ni Wenjun was escorted to the guest room, Chen Jie was ready to make some preparations before leaving. He went to the military camp first and watched the three armies practice the [Yin Yang Bagua Formation]. At present, the effect seems to be average. This top-level formation still has very high requirements on the quality of soldiers, so they need to intensify training.
Chen Jie met with the main senior officials of the army, including the commander of the White Tiger Guard, Chen Xiaohu, the commander of the Azure Dragon Guard, Jin Yanzi, and the commander of the Vermillion Bird Guard, Wu Daojun.
When he saw them, Chen Jie explained to them the key contents of the upcoming training, and then told them that he might have to go out for a while, and that they should guard Huangzhou Prefecture and protect their own nest.
After hearing this, Chen Xiaohu said, "Boss, let's go with you."
Chen Jie heard this and said, "No, this time it's very dangerous, there are so many experts, I can come and go freely if I go alone, but I'm afraid it will be dangerous if I take you with me."
After hearing this, Chen Xiaohu, Jin Yanzi and Wu Daojun's faces turned red. After all, they existed to protect their lord, but they never thought that they would become a burden to their lord now.
Therefore, everyone felt a little guilty.
Chen Jie saw their state and said, "Okay everyone, no one in this world can survive by relying on others. Everyone has different values. I may be destined to fight alone, but I still need you to train your troops well. When we fight for the world in the future, I will need your help."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned and immediately clasped their fists and said, "How dare we not fight to the death for our lord."
Seeing them say this, Chen Jie was also very satisfied, and immediately said: "Okay everyone, I called you here today to give you some gifts to reward you for your recent hard work."
As he spoke, Chen Jie took out a bunch of things.
First, he called Golden Swallow.
"Golden Swallow."
"My Lord."
Jin Yanzi clasped her fists. This was the number one female general under his command. She was also smart and able to convince the crowd. It was a pity that among the three major generals, Jin Yanzi was the weakest, only at the Changhong realm.
Chen Jie brought Jin Yanzi a [Extreme Yang Dragon Blood Pill] that could allow her to enter the Dragon Realm.
The recipe for this pill was what Chen Jie got from Gongsun Boqing in Wushan, and he happened to have the corresponding herbs, so Chen Jie spent two months refining a batch of it, and made a total of seven pills.
At this time, Chen Jie directly gave Jin Yanzi one to help her enter the Dragon Realm and reach the average standard of the current three Davids.
When Jin Yanzi saw the Extreme Yang Dragon Blood Pill that Chen Jie gave her, she immediately clasped her fists in thanks. Chen Jie said, "Well, do your job well, Jin Yanzi. You are a woman, so you should know the hardships of being the commander of an army. Thank you for your hard work."
Upon hearing this, Jin Yanzi fell silent and clasped his fists.
Then Chen Jie gave Jin Yanzi seven [Hongxia Pills] that could allow one to enter the Changhong Realm, ten [Wenyun Pills] that could allow one to enter the Langyan Realm, and a gourd of [Qixue Pills] that could allow one to enter the Baodan Realm.
Most of these medicines are obtained from Wushan.
Gongsun Boqing's collection is quite rich, and there are also many rare medicinal herbs in the Wushen Valley.
These are done.
Chen Jie called Wu Daojun of the Suzaku Guard, and gave Wu Daojun five precious fourth-grade Tai Sui pills as a reward. He also gave him some elixirs such as [Hongxia Dan] and [Wenyun Dan].
After giving all the pills to Wu Daojun, Chen Jie asked Wu Daojun to leave.
Jin Yanzi also withdrew at the same time, and the last one left was Chen Xiaohu.
Xiaohu looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Jiusi, I don't want anything anymore."
Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said, "You kid, really don't want it. I have a Tianyang Pill that can enter the Furnace Realm..."
"Tianyang Pill!"
Chen Xiaohu's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard this. He looked at Chen Jie expectantly and asked, "Where is Brother Jiusi?"
Chen Jie looked at him and smiled, "Don't you want it?"
Xiao Hu said, "Brother, please stop joking with me. How could I refuse a reward from you?"
Chen Jie laughed out loud when he heard this, then reached out and took out the Tianyang Pill.
Chen Jie originally prepared this Tianyang Pill for Xiaohu. This kind of pill is just a pill when carried on the body, but when taken by others, it becomes the combat power of a Furnace Realm.
The combat power of the Furnace Realm is top-level in any force.
However, Chen Jie's Huangzhou Prefecture cannot be supported by Chen Jie alone, and the Tianyang Pill is too precious, so it must be given to a trustworthy person. Among all the forces in the Huangzhou Prefecture, the person Chen Jie trusts the most is Chen Xiaohu.
It can be said that apart from his several wives, the person Chen Jie trusts most in his entire power is Chen Xiaohu.
First of all, he is his brother from the same clan, and he grew up with him and followed him all the way. If even he doesn't believe it, there won't be many people that Chen Jie can believe.
Therefore, when the Tianyang Pill appeared, the first person Chen Jie thought of was Chen Xiaohu.
Only when he reaches the furnace state can his own interests be maximized.
Chen Jie looked at Chen Xiaohu's expectant expression and said with a smile, "When has my brother ever treated you unfairly? Seeing you look so pitiful, if someone doesn't know, they would think I don't want to give you this pill."
Chen Xiaohu grinned when he heard this: "Hehe, how could that be possible? Brother Jiu Si loves me the most."
Chen Xiaohu said that he really wanted the Tianyang Pill.
It's not that he is so eager to make a breakthrough in martial arts, or wants to gain any power or have any ambition.
Instead, he found that he was becoming increasingly alienated from his fourth brother, and now it was even difficult for him to even see his fourth brother's back.
Just like this time, when Brother Jiu Si went out to do a dangerous mission and didn't even consider taking him with him, his words, "You are still too weak," really hurt Chen Xiaohu.
Chen Xiaohu really couldn't accept the fact that he couldn't help his brother Jiu Si.
Therefore, when he learned that he could quickly improve his strength and make himself stronger, he thought that he finally had the opportunity to help Brother Jiu Si.
If I become stronger, I can help Brother Jiu Si, and this is the happiest thing for Chen Xiaohu.
Chen Xiaohu took the Tianyang Pill handed over, his face full of excitement. Chen Jie took out some more pills and said, "These are medicines for entering the Changhong Realm, the Langyan Realm, and the Baodan Realm. Our White Tiger Guard has good seedlings, so we should support them. They will all be useful in the future."
Chen Xiaohu nodded to show that he understood. He had learned a lot about how to control subordinates from Chen Jiusi.
The two chatted with each other for a while. At this time, Chen Jie looked at Chen Xiaohu and said, "Xiaohu, I have something else to give you."
Chen Xiaohu looked at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "To enter the Crucible Realm, you must have the corresponding martial arts method. Your martial arts path is actually the path I have taken."
"When I was in Mianshui, I started with Taizu Changquan. Later, I practiced the Water Control Palm, which I taught you. When I arrived in the county, I practiced the Monument-Opening Hand, which I also taught you. Later, I practiced the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, which I also taught you. Later, I also taught you five of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms."
"Let's not talk about anything else here today. I will teach you all the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms today."
Chen Jie said to Chen Xiaohu that after entering the Furnace Realm, Xiaohu would definitely not be able to defeat others with his previous kung fu, so it would be better for him to pass on his Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms to Xiaohu.
In this way, Xiaohu's strength can be improved long-term.
Chen Jie's strongest skill is the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Secret, so apart from this he cannot teach Xiaohu, Chen Jie is not stingy in sharing the rest of his skills with Xiaohu.
Chen Jie directly passed all the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms to Xiaohu.
Xiaohu tried it on the spot and felt that this Kung Fu was extremely powerful and had the power to destroy everything in its path.
Chen Jie gave all the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms and the Tianyang Pill to Xiaohu. In this way, Xiaohu's strength was not considered weak even among those in the Furnace Realm.
After all, he has mastered the world's number one horizontal palm technique. Once he has mastered it, coupled with his cultivation in the Furnace Realm, he will probably be a famous figure on the list of outstanding people, and may even be in the top five of the list.
Chen Jie thought about it and said to Xiao Hu, "Brother, I'm leaving tomorrow. The safety of your sisters-in-law depends on you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaohu said directly: "Brother Jiusi, don't worry, anyone who wants to touch a hair of my sister-in-law will have to step over my dead body."
After hearing this, Chen Jie patted Xiaohu on the shoulder.
Then he took out another pill and handed it to Xiaohu, saying, "Huzi, this is an [Extreme Yang Dragon Blood Pill]. I've been busy recently and haven't seen Zhou Chu. If you have time to see him, give this pill to him and help him improve his strength to the Dragon Realm. Otherwise, don't let him see that we brothers have improved but he is still in the Changhong Realm. He will go home and cry to his wife."
After hearing this, Xiaohu laughed and said, "Brother Jiusi is right. I heard recently that his wife gave birth to a big fat boy. He is so beautiful."
Chen Jie said, "Really? Haha, I'll go take a look after I'm done with my work."
Chen Jie felt a little emotional at this time. He had been very busy in the past few years. Before he knew it, his brothers had all started families and had children. He didn't expect that Zhou Chu had also given birth to a child. When he has time, he will call these old brothers to get together.
Chen Jie thought about this and looked at Xiao Hu and said, "Hu Zi, isn't it time for you to start a family? Do you have a girl you like?"
Xiaohu fell silent after hearing this and smiled at Chen Jie.
Huh?
Chen Jie was stunned. You know, when talking about this topic normally, Xiaohu always denied it outright, absolutely not. But what does this shy smile mean today? There must be something wrong.
Thinking about it, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said, "Do you like someone? Tell me, no matter if it's a lady from a royal family or a woman of the underworld, tell me and I will propose marriage for you."
Xiaohu said, "No, brother, don't ask."
"You are playing coy with me."
Chen Jie smiled and said, "No matter who it is, I'll make the decision. I'll propose marriage for you in the future."
Xiaohu said, "Okay."
Xiaohu agreed immediately. Chen Jie found it even more funny looking at him. This guy is quite interesting. Who does he fall in love with?
You know, apart from being in the army, he is at Chen Mansion and never goes out. So who does this guy like?
Chen Jie didn't know, but Xiaohu didn't want to say, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After giving some instructions to the army, Chen Jie left. Before leaving, Chen Jie repeatedly emphasized the need to train the soldiers well, as the Yin-Yang Bagua Formation could really save lives.
Back then, when Hero Guo was trapped in Xiangyang, he used this Bagua formation. Everyone has seen how effective it was.
Not only did he defend Xiangyang for eighteen years, but he also killed Mulan the Great, Mengge.
This is the power of the Yin-Yang Bagua Formation.
Therefore, as long as this formation is mastered, Chen Jie should not have any big problems in defense. The world is in chaos right now, and there are many people who want to seize territory.
If we want to seize other people's territory, the first thing we need to do is to protect our own territory.
This is also one of the reasons why Chen Jie asked the army to practice the Yin-Yang Bagua formation in Wu Mu's posthumous book.
After all these were done, Chen Jie left the army. When he left, he happened to pass by the largest textile factory in Huangzhou Prefecture, the Huangzhou No. 1 Textile Factory.
Then I saw hundreds of trucks parked here.
Seeing these large trucks, Chen Jie became curious and found the person in charge of the factory to ask what was going on with these large trucks.
Then I heard that these carts belonged to the fleet of the Xu family, the largest merchant in Tianshui, and they came to our Huangzhou Prefecture to purchase goods.
Chen Jie knew that there were two ways to sell cotton yarn. One was to ship it by package, and each piece of cotton yarn cost one tael and two cents of silver.
There is also another type that does not include transportation. Each piece of cotton yarn costs one tael of silver, of which two qian is for transportation. Although these two qian may not seem like a lot, if it is a big customer who sells tens of thousands of pieces of cloth at a time, it would be a lot of money.
Therefore, many big merchants transporting cloth could be seen coming to Huangzhou Prefecture to import cloth.
Chen Jie looked at the cloth transport lane in front of him and asked, "Where is this truck going?"
"Tianshui."
Chen Jie thought to himself that Tianshui was not far from Guangmingding where he was going. It was only separated by a few prefectures. If he were to go on the road alone, he would be too conspicuous. It would be better for him to join the caravan transporting cloth, and then go directly to the north, and then act according to circumstances.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at the factory manager and asked, "Are they still hiring?"
The factory manager said, "Yes, the North has been uneasy lately, so they are looking for guards. However, it's hard to find people. It seems that only the Zhennan Escort Agency is willing to take on the task."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "I've never heard of the Zhennan Escort Agency."
The factory manager said, "It's a small escort agency, there aren't many people."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Oh, are you familiar with the people from Zhennan Escort Agency?"
The factory manager said, "I can't say we are familiar with each other, but he always asks me to introduce clients to him. After all, his escort agency is small and has few people. It's not easy to make money."
Chen Jie pondered for a moment and said, "Well, let's do this. You can find him and tell him that you have a relative who wants to join his escort agency and go on a escort mission to earn some money for the New Year."
The factory manager was stunned and asked, "My lord, you?"
Chen Jie said: "Do as I say. I will meet them outside the city tomorrow."
The factory manager said, "Okay, okay, I will definitely get it done."
Chen Jie said: "My identity is kept secret."
The factory manager said, "Yes, I understand."
After agreeing to follow the caravan northward the next day, Chen Jie returned to the Chen Mansion. He first went to see Su Yunjin, and then looked at his son. The two-month-old little guy had grown into a human being.
Looks chubby and cute.
Chen Jie and Su Yunjin stayed until the evening. Su Yunjin said, "My dear, I just gave birth and I am not feeling well. I will not keep you here tonight. You should go and accompany Sister Huang. You didn't spend much time with Sister Huang when you came back this time."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "I will be leaving tomorrow. Don't you want to accompany your husband?"
Su Yunjin said: "Husband, of course I want to accompany you, but Sister Huang needs more. You have been with me these days, and you are going on a long journey soon. I can't favor one over the other. Besides, Sister Huang has recovered..."
"Just right, just right to serve my husband."
Su Yunjin said to Chen Jie. After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "You, everyone wants to keep their husband in their room, but you are the only one who wants to push your husband out."
Su Yunjin said, "You can't be partial to one and ignore the other, or I'll be accused of being spoiled. My husband, please consider me."
Chen Jie said helplessly: "You, in order to get me to go find Huang Wan'er, you even dared to blame yourself for being spoiled."
Su Yunjin said: "Okay, husband, go and see Sister Huang."
Chen Jie said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go, I'll go, but let me stay with you for a while."
"Don't stay."
Although Su Yunjin really wanted Chen Jie to stay with her for a while, she also knew that Sister Huang was still waiting for her husband, so she urged her husband to leave quickly.
Chen Jie had no choice but to leave and followed to Huang Wan'er's house.
Huang Wan'er had just finished washing up and was a little surprised to see Chen Jie.
"Why are you here? Sister Yunjin just gave birth. Why are you running into my room?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie hugged Huang Wan'er and said, "You have been busy taking care of Yunjin these days. Haven't you neglected my Wan'er? I am here to apologize."
Huang Wan'er said, "Don't be ridiculous. I can't compare with Yun Jin. She gave birth to a son for your Chen family, but I only gave birth to a daughter. You should pamper her more."
Chen Jie said: "Nonsense, I like my son, my daughter, and my husband."
Chen Jie's hands started to get restless, but Huang Wan'er slapped his hands and said, "Stop it, our daughter is still here."
After saying that, Huang Wan'er said, "Du Juan, come and carry the young lady out."
After hearing this, Du Juan immediately came in and greeted Chen Jie first, then carried Chen Jie's daughter Chen Luoning out.
For a moment, only Chen Jie and Huang Wan'er were left in the room.
The two looked at each other, their eyes showing the most primitive desires of human beings. Chen Jie looked at her and said, "You have been very patient in not actively looking for your husband these days."
Huang Wan'er heard this and said, "Sister Yunjin just gave birth and needs someone to accompany her. Last time I gave birth to Luo Ning, didn't you also stay with me for a few days?"
Chen Jie said, "Hey, when did Madam Huang, who was known for her madness, become so sensible and well-behaved?"
Huang Wan'er sighed and said, "My life is miserable. No one loves me since I was born, so I can only become more extreme to protect myself. Now I have a daughter, a husband, and a good sister like Yunjin. My life is very good. Who would want to become crazy?"
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er and said, "But my husband still likes your crazy look."
Huang Wan'er heard this and said, "Oh, what kind of crazy look is that?"
Huang Wan'er put her arms around the back of Chen Jie's neck, her breath was as sweet as orchid, and Chen Jie's smile became even brighter as he said, "What else can it be? The crazier the better."
Huang Wan'er laughed tenderly and said, "Then why don't you come and pamper me, my husband?"
As she spoke, she leaned over and whispered in Chen Jie's ear: "Husband, I'm going crazy..."
…
It was unknown how much time had passed before Huang Wan'er leaned into Chen Jie's arms and said with a somewhat depressed look, "Husband, I want to give you a son."
After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Don't force it. It's fine now."
"I don't..."
Huang Wan'er turned over and lay on Chen Jie.
…
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er lying lazily on the bed and said, "Wait for me to come back."
Huang Wan'er nodded gently. Chen Jie washed up and went out to see Su Yunjin who was waiting for him early in the morning. After saying goodbye to Su Yunjin, Chen Jie went straight out of the city to meet up with the caravan and head north!
