Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 1787 Call the shots
When Xie Fu returned to the old residence of the Lin family, he found a guest in the hall, a man in his forties, dressed in brocade and jade fur.

Xiao Yu'er sat in the main seat, while A Bao stood beside her, looking ready for battle. The atmosphere was a bit weird, as if the visitor was not friendly.

Seeing Xie Fu coming back, Xiao Yuer and the man stood up at the same time. Before Xiao Yuer could speak, the man smiled and nodded to Xie Fu.

Xie Fu didn't know who this person was, but his behavior won him some favor. A humble and polite person is either a wicked villain or a gentle and elegant person.

Xiao Yuer said, "Master, this is Ma Wuren, the eldest son of the Ma family."

Xie Fu let out an "oh" and looked squarely at the eldest son of the Ma family in front of him. The father and son of the Ma family almost all died in his hands, but this eldest son of the Ma family was not afraid of death and dared to come to him on his own initiative.

Ma Wuren felt that his life and death were in the control of Xie Fu, but he looked at Xie Fu without fear.

Xie Fu smiled, retracted his intimidating aura, and walked to the main seat in the middle. Xiao Yuer immediately stood up and made way for him, standing aside like a servant.

Xie Fu sat down and said with a smile, "What are you doing here, Master Ma?"

"Giving gifts."

As Ma Wuren spoke, he walked forward with a brocade box in his hands and bowed to present it.

Xiao Yu'er was about to reach out to take it, but Xie Fu took the brocade box first and opened it on the spot. Inside the brocade box was a golden silk book.

Xiao Yuer exclaimed, Xie Fu turned his head and looked, Xiao Yuer said excitedly: "This is the first part of the secret book of my Lin family, "The Secret Book of Gold Forging".

Xie Fu smiled. He was planning to surrender and save his life. The eldest son of the Ma family was quite sensible. "Master Ma, what do you mean by that?"

"The first part of this "Secret Manual of Gold Forging" originally belonged to the Lin family. Now it is returned to its original owner."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Since you knew that this was someone else's stuff, why didn't you do anything with it earlier?"

"Sir, my father is still alive. As a son, how can I be his master? Now that my father has passed away, I am qualified to return this thing."

It seems that Ma Wuren already knows what happened in Qingfeng Temple. Xie Fu said with a smile: "Master Ma, do you want to use this thing to exchange for your life?"

Ma Wuren laughed and said, "I dared to come here alone, and I never thought I could return alive."

Xie Fu looked at Xiao Yu'er and asked, "Xiao Yu'er, do you think we should accept this or not?"

If you accept it, it means there is still room for negotiation. If you don't accept it, you can kill the person and still get the stuff.

Xiao Yuer hesitated: "Master, it's up to you."

Xie Fu closed the box and handed it back: "Take it, I will come to your house to get it back in person."

Ma Wuren, who had remained calm from beginning to end, finally showed a look of surprise and bowed his hands humbly: "Sir, could you please listen to me first before considering whether to accept it or not."

"You said."

"Wu Ren is willing to contribute to the country and make weapons and armor for you, sir."

Before Xie Fu could respond, Xiao Yuer said, "Why should I rely on you? My Lin family will make weapons and armor for me."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Master Ma, did you hear that? I don't need you."

Ma Wuren said, "Ms. Lin, although your Lin family is also a family of forging masters in Jiancheng, so many years have passed and things and people have changed. How can you forge weapons and armor by yourself?"

Xiao Yuer sneered: "You don't need to worry about this. When I wipe out your Ma family and take back all the things, those people will naturally attach themselves to my Lin family."

Ma Wuren said solemnly: "You are just a weak woman."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "Yes, if we wipe out the Ma family, we can take back everything."

"The war is urgent. When the Lin family..."

Ma Wuren suddenly stopped talking, and after a long pause, he looked at Xiao Yuer and said loudly, "Ms. Lin, do you still remember how you escaped from the Ma family that day?"

Xiao Yuer was surprised: "Could it be you?"

Ma Wuren rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing a long scar on it.

Looking at the scar on Ma Wuren's arm, the surprise on Xiao Yuer's face slowly turned into confusion and embarrassment.

Ma Wuren smiled and said, "Miss Lin, you don't have to worry about it. I am a member of the Ma family, and I am guilty as well. When I have finished speaking, I, Ma Wuren, will leave my life to you, Miss Ma."

Xie Fu probably knew how to get back. He thought that it was Ma Wuren who secretly helped Xiao Yuer escape from the Lin family. He would listen to what he wanted to say before making any decisions: "Ma Wuren, tell me."

Ma Wuren opened his mouth like thunder: "Over the years, my Ma family has been secretly making weapons and armor for Beidi."

Xie Fu's face immediately darkened. Ma Wuren glanced at Xie Fu and continued, "My father wanted to secretly build the Mingguang Armor for Beidi, so he targeted the Lin family. In order to obtain the Lin family's secret manual, he eventually wiped out the Lin family at all costs."

When Xiao Yuer heard again that the Lin family was wiped out, she couldn't help but tremble all over, but she couldn't help but interrupt.

Xie Fu said in a deep voice: "Ma Wuren, you are not saying this to push all the crimes committed by your Ma family onto Beidi."

"Sir, you don't know that some high-level armor can only be sold through the Su family auction. Beidi can't get Mingguang armor through normal channels, so Beidi asked my Ma family to make it secretly."

Xie Fu was not very clear about these things. He turned his head to look at Xiao Yuer, and Xiao Yuer nodded.

"As a son, I often advised my father, but it only made him dislike me and he ignored me on purpose. Gradually, I, the eldest son of the Ma family, had no weight in the Ma family."

Xie Fu said coldly: "If that's the case, why don't you make this public?"

Ma Wuren smiled bitterly: "Sir, you are also a son. As a son, all I can do is to advise. How can I do..." There are some words that I really can't say, so I changed the subject: "Sir, please understand my difficulties as a son."

As the saying goes, one should protect one's relatives, especially parents and blood relatives. Even if they make mistakes, one should not pursue them harshly or bring troops to punish them. This is the compassion that is in line with human nature.

It's easy to say that one should sacrifice one's relatives for the sake of justice, but how many people can really do it? Xie Fu might not be able to do it either, so he said calmly, "Go on."

"Later, Beidi secretly established power in my Ma family. Even my father couldn't make decisions on many things. I, the eldest son whose words carry no weight in the Ma family, was even more powerless. I also thought about making this matter public, but no one might believe me. I was afraid that it would cause greater disasters and alert Beidi."

"vigilance?"

Ma Wuren nodded: "Although I am powerless, I am not indifferent. I secretly collect information about the transactions between the Ma family and Beidi, as well as the forces that Beidi has planted in the Ma family and Jiancheng."

As he spoke, he took out a book from his clothes: "This is the location and list of the forces that Beidi has planted in Jiancheng, as well as the route and contact personnel for transporting weapons and armor back to Beidi. Sir, you can catch them all in one fell swoop, clean up the filth in Jiancheng, and make Jiancheng clear and bright."

Xie Fu reached out and took the book: "You want to use this list to exchange for your life?"

"Wu Ren still wants to contribute to the country and make up for the sins of his father and brothers. If I deserve to die, I will accept it calmly."

"As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. The misfortune does not extend to your wife and children, and the sin does not extend to your parents. Since you have done no evil..."

Xie Fu strangled her as he spoke and turned to look at Xiao Yuer. Xiao Yuer nodded. She had no reason to kill Ma Wuren, especially since Ma Wuren had saved her before.

Xie Fu then continued, "Of course I have no reason to kill you."

"Sir, Takehito has another request."

"explain."

"I want to hold a funeral for my father and brother and set up a memorial tablet."

"Okay." "Sir, what about making weapons and armor?"

"I don't understand this. Please discuss it with Xiao Yu'er."

Xie Fu said as he opened the book on the spot and flipped through it. The more he read, the more frightened he became. There were so many locations, so many people, and contact points along the way from Jiancheng to Beidi...

It makes sense. After all, the Northern Di have been operating secretly in Jiancheng for many years and have long been deeply rooted. It would take a lot of effort to eradicate them while avoiding alerting the enemy.

He had hurriedly come to Jiancheng alone this time, and had never expected to have to deal with such a matter. It would have been great if Ling Luo was by his side...

"Of course I have no reason to kill you."

"Sir, Takehito has another request."

"explain."

"I want to hold a funeral for my father and brother and set up a memorial tablet."

"That's right."

"Sir, what about forging weapons and armor?"

"I don't understand this. Please discuss it with Xiao Yu'er."

Ma Wuren looked at Xiao Yuer, not knowing how to start the conversation for a long time. However, Xiao Yuer turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with Ma Wuren. Even though he had saved her life, his surname, Ma, was ultimately a thorn in her heart.

Ma Wuren said softly, "Miss Lin, do you still remember when you were sixteen and you were boating on Yanxia Lake in the spring, and someone was reading poems to you across the boat in the middle of the lake?"

Xiao Yu'er looked at Ma Wuren in surprise. After a long while, she spoke softly, "If you ask about Guanghan's worries and joys..."

Ma Wuren responded: "The spring waters of the three rivers also carry sadness."

"Are you Master Chunshui?"

Ten years later, Xiao Yuer pronounced this name immediately, because this was the first time she fell in love and she missed someone very much. This was also her beautiful dream when she was a girl.

Ma Wuren nodded, and Xiao Yuer asked with a blaming look on her face: "Why did you break your promise that year?"

Ma Wuren said sadly, "I already had a wife at that time. I fell in love with you at first sight and admired your talent. I agreed to marry you on impulse. After I calmed down, I realized that I had a wife and you were unmarried, and I was twice as old as you. There was no possibility between us, so... I broke the promise."

Xiao Yu'er was very angry and scolded loudly: "You know you ruined a beautiful dream of a young girl! I waited for you at Yanxia Lake every day, from spring to summer, from summer to autumn, for half a year. You liar!"

Ma Wuren lowered his head and said, "We know the outcome, so a short pain is worse than a long one."

"It's been ten years since then. Why are you bringing up the past again?"

"I know you have a grudge against Ma Wuren, but you know what kind of person Master Chunshui is, don't you?"

"You...you...you men are all selfish. If you say that now, what will it do to me?"

"Ms. Lin, my wife has died of illness. If you are willing, I can marry you."

Xiao Yu'er was stunned for a moment, then she said loudly, "You are wishful thinking. I am no longer the Lin Yucheng I once was."

Ma Wuren actually grabbed Xiao Yuer's hand tightly: "I don't care!"

"What does it have to do with me!"

Xiao Yuer violently shook off Ma Wuren's hand, but used too much force and hit Xie Fu in the face with a loud slap.

Xie Fu, who was concentrating on reading a book, was brought back to his senses by the beating. Looking at the two people entangled, he asked unhappily, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yuer quickly rubbed Xie Fu's cheek with her hands and said softly, "Master, I didn't mean it."

Xie Fu said "oh", Ma Wuren saw Xiao Yu'er being intimate with Xie Fu, with a strange expression on her face. Xiao Yu'er noticed it keenly and said softly, "Master, I didn't hurt you just now, did I?"

The person actually came closer, rubbed Xie Fu's face gently and breathed on it, looking very distressed.

Xie Fu was puzzled: "Xiao Yu'er, what are you doing?"

"Master, I feel sorry for you."

Xie Fu looked at Ma Wuren: "Why are you guys acting so weird all of a sudden?"

He was so focused on flipping through the book that he didn't pay attention to what the two were talking about. "Is there something you can't agree on?"

Xiao Yuer responded: "Yes! I don't want to cooperate with Ma Wuren."

"Then what do you want?"

"I...I want to kill you!"

Ma Wuren said proudly: "Ms. Lin, if killing me can make you feel relieved, please do it now. If I, Ma Wuren, dodge, I will hit you with a hammer!"

"Hmph, do you think I don't dare?" Although Xiao Yuer said this, she had no intention of taking action at all.

"Then please."

Xie Fu scolded: "Okay, how come you suddenly become like a pair of enemies?"

Xiao Yuer argued: "Who is his enemy? He and I are his enemy!"

Xie Fu said in a deep voice: "I don't care what happened between you two, Xiao Yu'er, I want weapons and armor, don't interfere with my business!"

Then he turned to Ma Wuren and said, "Ma Wuren, you have to coax Xiao Yuer for me!"

Ma Wuren was stunned for a moment, then responded, "Okay."

Xie took the book and left. Xiao Yuer shouted, "Master, where are you going? I'll go with you."

"Just finish what I asked you to do first."

Xie Fu found Li Huirong immediately. Li Huirong was sitting at the table, concentrating on painting. Xie Fu looked at her in elegant men's clothing, looking like a handsome man. He felt strange, as if he had been with a man before...

I have to say that when Li Huirong wears men's clothes, she really makes him feel like a man. You will never have any random thoughts about her, and you will even feel psychologically resistant to too much physical contact.

But that night she was dressed as a woman, my god, I was so bewitched by her that I couldn't control myself, it was really pathetic.

He really couldn't understand how the same person could have two completely different styles.

Li Huirong didn't look at him: "Are you here?"

"coming."
