Chapter 129 He must be jealous to death
A thrilling king election is taking place in the border city of Shanmeng.
This time, their 100,000-strong army was completely defeated by the Xiao family army, which made the Shanmeng people feel dissatisfied from the bottom of their hearts.
They are now enforcing conscription nationwide.
All men between the ages of thirteen and sixty must join the army.
They must avenge their previous shame!
After visiting Shan Meng, Xiao Jingyan went to see Zhong Jue again.
The same thing happened to Zhongjue. The Grand Marshal was shot dead by a soldier from the Xiao family army. All 130,000 people were wiped out, and a thousand people were captured by Qianshuo.
They had no intention of rescuing the thousand prisoners. After changing their commander, they, like Shan Meng, were also planning their next attack.
Xiao Rong's side was far away, and the small plane couldn't reach there, so Xiao Jingyan couldn't see it.
However, just seeing these now made him very satisfied.
This small plane is so compact and concealed that it would not be easily detected even if it flew into the rooms of Shan Mengxinjun and Zhong Juexinshuai.
Even if they noticed it, they wouldn't know what it was, and they couldn't catch it.
Just like now, four or five of them were running around the house trying to catch the little plane.
They bumped into each other and fell down.
It's like a stack of people, one falling on top of another, it's so funny.
When Xiao Jingyan and others saw this scene, they couldn't help but burst into laughter, and their mouths were almost laughing to their ears.
Soldiers: It’s been a long time since we saw the prince smile so happily!
At the foot of the mountain, on the streets of Lingyao City.
Wang Tiezhu and four other generals went together to buy a phoenix crown and headdress for Shi Xi.
Unfortunately, they arrived a little late, and many businesses were closed when they arrived.
They said that if they could pay a high price, several cash-strapped bosses would reluctantly let them in to have a look.
However, these things are not enough to catch their eyes.
They felt that the fairy’s friend deserved better!
Just when they had visited three or five stores and still hadn't found anything they were satisfied with, a local tycoon recognized them.
"You... aren't you General Wang and General Liu?"
"And these two, what are their names...?"
Mr. Song only knew Wang Tiezhu and Liu Deyou, and was not very familiar with Guo Wen and Jiang Zhihao.
Now that their identities have been recognized, they don't plan to hide anymore.
"Mr. Song, it doesn't matter who these two people are."
"You have such good eyesight that you can even recognize us!"
Liu Deyou hurried forward to please and praise him.
Mr. Song was their prince's number one admirer and had given them many antique jewellery, calligraphy and paintings that the fairies liked.
Can't offend!
"Several generals are here in plain clothes. What are you looking for?"
Mr. Wu knew that they usually did not leave the barracks, and that they must have something important to do when they came down the mountain this time.
"Your Excellency is truly a prophet."
"To be honest, we want to buy a set of head ornaments for a woman's wedding."
Wang Tiezhu stated the purpose of their visit.
Mr. Wu is the richest businessman in the entire Lingyao City and also the most capable businessman.
Maybe he could really find a headdress for them that would satisfy the fairy.
"But someone is getting married?"
Mr. Wu gossiped.
"No, we have other uses."
Although Wang Tiezhu's reaction was a little slow, they had discussed the matter of the fairy before, so they decided to try to keep the people informed as little as possible.
The more you know, the more mysterious a fairy should be.
"It's not difficult. I have one at home that I'm saving for my daughter when she gets married."
"Since you need it, I'll give it to you first. I'll get a replacement for my daughter later."
Mr. Wu was very generous, but Wang Tiezhu and others still needed to see the goods before deciding whether to buy them.
The four followed Mr. Wu to his house and saw the headgear.
The Wu family is indeed a wealthy family. This set of gilded and kingfisher-inlaid headwear is truly rich and elegant.
Not to mention women, even the four rough guys like Wang Tiezhu liked her.
If you ask what the imperial concubines in the palace wear, I'm afraid it's no more than this!
"This is good!"
"That's it. How much is it? Please name a price and sell it to us."
Guo Wen made the decision immediately.
Mr. Wu shook his head.
He looked at the four of them meaningfully and said:
"Generals, I, Wu, have plenty of money, so I certainly don't need this. I made this headdress for my daughter when she was born."
"It has been kept for nine years now, and my daughter will be able to use it in less than five years."
"For something so valuable, it must be exchanged for something of equal value, right?"
While Mr. Wu was speaking, his eyes were always glancing at the notebook and charcoal pen on Guo Wen's waist.
Liu Deyou immediately understood, took the notebook and pen from Guo Wen, and handed them to Wu Yuanwai.
Mr. Wu held it in his hands as if it were a treasure, and kept flipping through the small notebook that Guo Wen had just received today and had not written anything in it.
"Thank you, General. This headgear is yours!"
As Mr. Wu spoke, he waved to the old butler beside him and asked him to hand the headgear tray to Guo Wen.
Guo Wen took the tray and looked at the golden hair accessories under the candlelight. He couldn't believe that he got it in exchange for a small notebook and a pen!
If Wu Yuanwai knew that even the lowest-ranking soldiers in the military camp had this thing, wouldn't he be jealous to death?!
Well, if only he wouldn't act on impulse and sign up to join the army himself!
All four of them felt they had gotten a bargain.
However, when I thought that the pen and notebook given by the fairy were rare and noble items, I felt relieved.
Just as they were about to leave, Mr. Wu stopped them.
"Please stay!"
Four people:! ! !
Could it be that... you regret it?
"How do you use this thing?"
Mr. Wu studied it for a long time, but he had no idea what the use of this small black stick in his hand, which was made of unknown material and was as thick as a finger, was.
Liu Deyou sighed and walked forward with ease.
He opened the pen cap, took the small notebook, wrote a few words on it, and then said:
"This thing is called a carbon pen. It's made of plastic. If you store it carefully, it will write very smoothly on paper. It's not used up until the black tube gradually turns white."
His simple explanation almost made Mr. Wu drop his jaw in shock.
He hurriedly tried to write a word according to Liu Deyou's instructions, his eyes widening.
"General, do you still have this item in the barracks?"
"I can take as many headpieces as you want, please sell me another one!"
As he spoke, he bowed respectfully.
This good thing is especially convenient for him to use for keeping accounts when he goes out to check the accounts.
Now that he is over 40, he gradually feels that his memory is getting worse year by year. With this little thing to help him, he will never forget important things again.
Liu Deyou was a little embarrassed. They were all rough people and felt that they had no need for pen and paper, so they did not bring them with them when they went out.
"Well...why don't you go to the military camp and ask the prince when you have time?"
"Everything in the army belongs to the prince, we dare not make the decision."
His answer was proper and correct.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu's heart suddenly sank.
Go ask the prince for something?
How dare he!
He was just an ordinary citizen with only an official title, so he didn't dare to act wildly in front of King Ding'an.
Forget it, let’s talk about it when we have a chance later!
He sighed, escorted the four men to the door, and sent his own carriage to take them back to the barracks.
In Lingyao City, if someone is recognized as being from the Xiao family army, the people will treat them with such great courtesy.
This is the reward for Xiao Jingyan’s efforts in saving everyone!
