Chapter 547 Let’s Talk
Chu Xiaomu and Jin Lier rode side by side.
Jin Lier knew that it would take time for the attendants to gather Zhao Xiantong, Qi Changshu, Zhang Qianyuan, Sun Zicao, and Huang Wu Baoguan, so she let the horse go slowly and was not in a hurry.
Zhao Xiantong and Zhang Qianyuan were fine, but Qi Changshu, Sun Zicao and Huang Wu Baoguan were very busy people. They had a lot of things, big and small, on their hands, many of which needed to be handled personally. It was already good enough to find them within an hour.
Moreover, it was not certain that Xuanying would be able to meet him. Jin Lier said that she was going to Xuanying's residence to discuss matters, and she might have to go to her own Jing'an Hall in the end. Although the place was responsible for business and trade, at this time of crisis, there was no need to care about so much.
Jin Li'er looked at the Chenghuang horse under Chu Xiaomu's crotch and asked, "Lin Jinwei, your horse is amazing. It runs as fast as my Conglong. What is its name? I asked you last time, but you didn't tell me."
Chu Xiaomu said, "My lady, your question has stumped me. This is a local horse from Qingyuan and we don't have any special name. But I named it 'Qisheng', you can also call it 'Qisheng'." He knew that when people in Jinyang City saw Chenghuang, they would ask about its origin and name, so he and Jinglan had already discussed how to answer.
When Cheng Huang heard Chu Xiaomu call out the word "Qisheng", he chirped in response.
Jin Lier smiled and said, "What a strange creature! It is indeed born strangely. You call it by its name and it actually responds."
Cheng Huang barked twice again, causing Jin Lier to giggle.
Chu Xiaomu thought that although this Miss Jin was serious most of the time, she still had a little girl's heart. Although she was born in the city lord's Wang family, had a life of luxury and power that few people could match, she had no leisure time to enjoy herself. He didn't know whether he should be happy or feel sorry for her.
Jin Lier saw Chu Xiaomu's brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, so she asked, "Lin Jinwei, what are you thinking about?"
Chu Xiaomu said hurriedly: "Nothing...nothing."
"Humph, I knew it. If you have something on your mind, you will only tell your sister Xiaoying."
Chu Xiaomu didn't answer. He thought to himself that he had seen Xiaoying less recently, and she felt depressed, so she often went to Huang Wubaoguan's place to play with him, and sometimes he would come back late at night. The two of them actually got along very well.
"Why, did it hit the nail on the head?" Jin Lier said with a smile.
Chu Xiaomu said hurriedly: "How could it be, she...she is my biological sister, there are many things...I can't tell her."
"For example?"
"For example, I won't tell her about these military matters."
Jin Lier nodded and said, "Your sister Xiaoying is too lively and playful. She won't listen to these things even if I tell her. Besides, you are the Jinwei of Jinyang City. Many things are big secrets related to the survival of Jinyang City. I really can't tell her."
Chu Xiaomu lowered his head and said, "I understand."
Jin Lier asked again: "What about your elder brother? Will you tell him?"
"The young general will not tell these things to his elder brother."
"But I think your elder brother is a very sensible person, much more reliable than your sister Xiaoying."
"My elder brother has his own affairs, so he doesn't need to worry about my affairs."
"That's right. Just like me, I also have three siblings, and I have two older brothers. But I can hardly say a few words to them all year round." The voice sounded quite helpless, and he couldn't help but sigh after he finished speaking.
Chu Xiaomu knew that Jin Li'er had two older brothers, one named Jin Tiankai and the other named Jin Tianyu. Jin Tiankai was in charge of the ancestral hall of Jinyang City, while Jin Tianyu had been in a coma for more than four years because he was hit by a man with the power of the Force when he was buying and selling slaves.
He was not good at comforting people, so he said, "Well...well, you are all people who do great things, there is nothing we can do..."
"I see you are also a man who can do great things, right?"
"I am an uneducated young general, I don't have any tricks up my sleeve, and I haven't done anything for Jinyang City. How can I be considered a man who can accomplish great things?"
Jin Li'er turned around, looked at him with a half-smile, and said, "Really? I think you have made a great contribution this time."
"What do you mean, young master? If Brother You hadn't voluntarily admitted defeat in the duel, how could I have been appointed as the Jinwei? Jinyang City is full of talented people. If someone wants to make a great contribution, I don't know when it will be my turn."
"You do have some truth in what you said. If there really was some great merit to be earned, those people from the Golden Sword Sect would have already been scrambling to get in. How could it be the turn of a figurehead like you, Lin Jinwei?"
Chu Xiaomu didn't answer.
Jin Lier did not continue to talk, but said: "Tell me more about your eldest brother and your third sister. I am very curious about them."
Chu Xiaomu was stunned and said, "My eldest brother and my third sister? They are also ordinary people in Qingyuan. This time they just accompanied me to Jinyang City for some fun and will have to go back in a few days. What do they have to say?"
Jin Li'er suddenly stopped her horse and stared at Chu Xiaomu without blinking: "Really? You, Lin Qing, Lin Yuan, and Lin Ying, are really brother and sister?"
Chu Xiaomu thought, "Have you already known my fake identity? Then why didn't you expose me in front of Zhang Qianyuan and the others? Instead, you still let me be the Golden Lieutenant, and took me around to let me get familiar with the Silver Lieutenants and Bronze Lieutenants under you, and even recruited soldiers?"
Seeing Chu Xiaomu was stunned and silent, Jin Lier asked again: "I'm asking you, are you three really brothers and sisters?"
Chu Xiaomu simply said, "The three of us are all orphans, and we met each other very early. Even if we are not biological brothers and sisters, we are better than biological brothers and sisters." He was not wrong. When he was a teenager, his parents went out to sea to fish and disappeared. Jinglan's mother also died early. His father Zhou Bo was killed by Chi Bing more than a month ago. Xiaoying didn't even know who her biological parents were. Therefore, it can be said that they are all orphans.
I thought that since you, Jin Lier, asked me this, you must have seen something, but I am not afraid of you. Now that the dilemma of Bicheng has been resolved, I will go back soon. The only people in Jinyang City who can fight me, besides Jindao and Heijian, are my good brother Xuanying.
But the Golden Blade and the Black Sword haven't appeared for such a long time, and I don't know if they are in Jinyang City. It is even more impossible for Xuanying to stop me in this matter. When the time comes, we can go our separate ways and live in peace. If you make me angry, I am afraid I will seek revenge on you for being a slave for half a year.
Jin Lier sighed and didn't ask any more questions. She gently hit Conglong under her crotch and said, "Let's walk faster. We still have a lot of things to do."
