Chapter 112
Xu Jue didn't speak, but Wu Yue stood up and said, "Since Brother Xu is not free today, I'll come back when I'm free. I've been staying in the house for a long time these days, so I'm going out for a stroll."

Wu Yue got up, and as soon as he left, Zhou Yan followed him out.

Gu Mingzhu took the tea from Xu Jue and asked in confusion, "What were you laughing at?"

Xu Jue said, "The one who laughs at you."

"Huh?" Gu Mingzhu brought the tea to his mouth, and he became more suspicious when he heard the words.

Xu Jue said: "Yueyan said the same thing to you just now, more points, one tael more is one tael."

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help laughing: "So, after discussing for a long time, what did you discuss?"

Xu Jue said: "Bad stick, naturally the more ruthless the better, you issued orders at the gate of the Duwei's mansion to punish Yan Yun to ride, you have power, this is it, I should come, after all, I am in the mouth of the people, Although invincible, it is also scary."

Gu Mingzhu laughed: "You do have self-knowledge."

Xu Jue said, "It's ridiculous."

Gu Mingzhu put down the teacup, remembered something, and said, "After experiencing yesterday, I suddenly understood one thing."

"tell me the story."

"I'm not for these."

Xu Jue was not surprised, but said, "How do you say?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "I'm not stupid, but I don't know how to be subordinated in the officialdom. If you hadn't reminded me yesterday, I'm afraid that I would really have chopped off the heads of Yang Fuyan and Ma Jiaojiao."

Xu Jue said, "If you cut it, you will cut it."

Gu Mingzhu shook her head: "Thinking about it now, I can't help but feel a little scared. Not to mention that the 200 million yuan was cut off, people who don't know the situation will still think that Gu Jue is a tyrannical person."

There was no one else in the room. Xu Jue put his feet on the empty chair beside him, straightened his long legs, and stared at him: "So what? Don't forget your identity. You are the master of the southeast. If you want to kill anyone, just Who can kill!"

Gu Mingzhu frowned: "This is the behavior of a tyrant."

Xu Jue glanced at her: "No, this is called purging the officialdom. Just kill me, I will never let you bear these names."

Gu Mingzhu was silent.

Xu Jue said: "Don't worry about what you won't be able to commandeer. With me here, it doesn't matter whether you will be courteous or not. Apart from being good at literature and martial arts, your husband is best at being courteous."

Gu Mingzhu smiled and raised her eyebrows: "Husband? Where did you come from?"

Xu Jue retracted his legs and stretched out his hand towards her. Gu Mingzhu put his hand over and was gently pinched by him. His eyes were suddenly deep, as if lighting up fireworks, and they were so bright that they were breathtaking: "I heard everything!" , You said it yourself, we are husband and wife."

Gu Mingzhu retracted her hand, but couldn't take it back, she just felt the heat on the back of her hand was scorching.

Mingming didn't blush when he mentioned this to Wu Yue just now, why didn't he treat him like that?

Gu Mingzhu pretended to be calm and said, "Are you still eavesdropping?"

"I listened openly." Xu Jue tugged at her, and Gu Mingzhu was forced to get closer. He leaned closer and faced each other: "Say, when?"

Gu Mingzhu understood, and couldn't help lowering her voice a little: "How do I know, there will be many things to do in the spring after the next year, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

"That was years ago."

Gu Mingzhu said: "The Chinese New Year will be here in a few days."

"It's in time." Xu Jue smiled: "As long as you nod your head, you will be in time."

Gu Mingzhu hesitated: "A Jue..."

"Ok?"

"I do not want……"

The smile on Xu Jue's lips faded a bit, and she said patiently: "Do you think the year ago is too fast?"

Gu Mingzhu shook her head.

Xu Jue's face sank: "Could it be that you want to say that you don't want to marry me?"

Gu Mingzhu said, "No, no..."

Xu Jue's face turned pale: "Why is that?"

Gu Mingzhu then said: "The elders are not here..."

Xu Jue said: "Will the elders marry?"

Gu Mingzhu thought for a while, but Xu Jue didn't urge her. After a while, Gu Mingzhu looked at him and said, "No."

Xu Jue squeezed a little bit: "Amusing me?"

Gu Mingzhu said: "No, I mean, I will marry without elders."

Xu Jue's eyes suddenly filled with a smile: "Gu Mingzhu, you promised this yourself!"

"Ah."

Xu Jue kissed the back of her hand and let her go.

After a while, the guards came to report that someone from the Ma family was coming, and Xu Jue went to meet him.
-
Ma Huaimin waited in fear at the door of the study, after a while, he heard movement in front of him, looked up, bowed his head and said: "Ma Huaimin has seen the general."

Without squinting, Xu Jue passed by him.

Ma Huaimin anxiously followed in.

Yesterday he purposely inquired about the person who was with King Ming. If he didn't inquire, he wouldn't know.

It turned out to be the son of Xu Wei, who was well-known in Northwest China before, the cold-faced Yan Luo Xu Jue!
Ma Huaimin didn't sleep well at night, and at dawn he was busy trying to figure out a way to send a post to see him, but things went well, and he saw him soon.

Holding a wooden box in his hand, he stood aside respectfully.

Inside this wooden box are two pieces of unprocessed raw jade he found, which can be polished into any shape you like by craftsmen.

Yesterday, I saw that Gu Mingzhu's appearance was only eighteen or nineteen, and the girl's family always loved beautiful things, so today he specially prepared to give it to King Ming.

Xu Jue sat down, and then looked at him: "Sit down."

How could Ma Huaimin dare to sit, he hurriedly said: "The young one likes to stand, and the young one likes to stand."

Xu Jue showed no expression: "I'll let you sit down."

Ma Huaimin could only sit aside.

Holding the wooden box, he thought about it and said, "The little one came today because of what happened yesterday. The Ma family donated winter clothes and boots to the twelve states in the southeast."

"Hmm." Xu Jue responded in a single tone.

Ma Huaimin heard that the word "um" meant to let him continue, and said: "It's just that there is one thing that is quite difficult to do. A large number of orders for winter clothes now need to be purchased from various places, and it is too time-consuming to come and send. I thought, Why don't you convert the money for buying clothes into numbers and hand them over to His Highness King Ming, and let His Highness arrange to distribute them to the soldiers in various cities, this will not only be faster, but also make everyone happy in the new year."

Xu Jue glanced at him, with an indifferent attitude: "Since Master Ma has said so, I will give you this face. According to your words, let's break it into silver."

Ma Huaimin nodded.

Xu Jue said again: "I just don't know, how much silver should these winter clothes be folded into?"

He seemed to be asking Ma Huaimin, but also seemed to be asking someone else.

But there were only two of them in the study, so Ma Huaimin had to answer his words: "According to the number of people, there are 19 iron cavalry in the southeast, excluding Dangzhou's [-]..."

Xu Jue interrupted him: "Why did you get rid of the [-] soldiers in Dangzhou? Aren't the [-] soldiers in Dangzhou human?"

Ma Huaimin was taken aback: "General, haven't the soldiers in Dangzhou already bought winter clothes?"

Xu Jue said indifferently: "Oh? When? How come I don't know, who bought it for me? Why did he buy it? What is the intention of this clothes shopper to go beyond King Ming! What audacity!"

Ma Huaimin seemed to be choking, and after a while he said with difficulty: "I remember wrongly, I didn't buy it or I didn't buy it..."

Xu Jue smiled and said, "What did you say just now? Master Ma, you continue."

Ma Huaimin collected his thoughts and continued: "19 soldiers, a set of winter clothes, calculated according to the price, about ten taels of silver..."

Xu Jue frowned: "Twelve taels for a set of winter clothes? Ma Huaimin, are you watching people order dishes? Are you playing me like a monkey?"

Ma Huaimin's face froze, and he hurriedly said: "General, I don't mean that, but ten taels can indeed buy good winter clothes."

"Oh? Really? I heard that you spent 40 a few days ago."

Ma Huaimin was very aggrieved, he was the one who refused to mention the [-] soldiers in Dangzhou, and now he is the one who mentioned the [-] soldiers!
"What? The soldiers in Dangzhou are worthy of 40, and the soldiers in other states are not worthy?"

"Yes! Of course it is!" Ma Huaimin gritted his teeth: "It should be the same... It should be the same... A set of 20 taels..."

Xu Jue was very displeased, and said in a gloomy tone, "What? Besides the winter clothes, doesn't Master Ma equip the soldiers with knives?"

"What? With a knife?" Ma Huaimin's face was pale: "But...but yesterday..."

"Yesterday was yesterday and today is today." Xu Jue said with a blank expression, "Master Ma promised King Ming Dongyi, and I, a general, should not go too far with the sword, right? Or, if King Ming's words are words, I won't listen to them?"

Ma Huaimin resisted the urge to jump, comforted himself in his heart, and nodded in agreement with Xu Jue: "The general's words are naturally words..."

"Then I will be on behalf of the soldiers of the Twelve States, and thank Master Ma for his generosity."

Ma Huaimin's face was disheveled: "I don't know the price of a knife?"

Xu Jue smiled and said, "You're asking me the right person. Twenty taels can make a good knife, and a good knife matches a good soldier. Don't you think so?"

Ma Huaimin was so frightened that he couldn't sit still: "20 taels?"

Xu Jue frowned suspiciously: "Master Ma, do you believe me?"

"No, no...just 20 taels..."

Xu Jue said, "Master Ma thinks 20 taels is not enough?"

"Enough is enough... that's enough..." He sat back with a cold heart: "Enough is enough..."

Xu Jue laughed suddenly: "Master Ma is indeed a generous person. The 19 soldiers will be grateful to the Ma family. A set of winter clothes and a knife, 40 taels, that's 760 million, plus some other trivial things. An integer, how about 800 million?"

Ma Huaimin's heart turned cold: "According to what the general said, 800 million."

Now he finally understands that Xu Jue has ruthlessly deceived him today. If he doesn't respond, he will have thousands of excuses to make trouble.

The robber!The bandits!
Ma Huaimin was furious!
Xu Jue smiled and said, "Then the 800 million?"

Ma Huaimin said: "Then I'll go back and make some preparations, and I'll send the bank notes later."

Xu Jue said, "Is Master Ma going to exchange bank notes?"

"Exactly."

"That's just right. I'll let someone go with Master Ma, and it will save you another trip."

Ma Huaimin nodded awkwardly: "Alright..."

Xu Jue said to the outside: "Ming Yi."

The young guard floated down from a height: "My lord."

Xu Jue said: "You go with Master Ma to get the banknote. Don't be playful on the way, come back as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Ma Huaimin couldn't help complaining with tears in his heart: Who is this telling?Who should I tell? !
This is obviously what he was talking about!
But Ma Huaimin couldn't say anything yet, so he nodded.

Xu Jue said, "Huh? What is the wooden box in Master Ma's hand?"

Ma Huaimin immediately hugged the box tightly: "It's nothing, this is the little one... I bought it for my daughter."

Xu Jue said quickly: "Then Mingyi, you can go quickly with Master Ma."

"Yes."
