MTL - Great Xuanwu Sheng

 Chapter 31 Inside and outside

Xu Hongyu returned to her office with a cold expression.

She indeed did not have any intelligence or evidence that could lead to He Mingxuan, but there was no need to doubt this matter, because Chen Mu was the one she promoted least, and he had not even been transferred to the general department for the time being, so he would not attract any attention at all. In addition, so many people were able to sneak into Jiutiaoli and even bypass Min Baoyi's informant, which shows that there are also connections within the City Guard Department.

Except for He Mingxuan, she couldn't think of anyone else. Nowadays, everything was so complicated that she had no intention of playing a scheming game with He Mingxuan. It was helpless to forcefully shock him in this way.

 “Miss, this is a message from Min Chasi.”

　　Xu Hongyu returned to her side hall, and a maid in a blue shirt came over with a piece of paper, but she addressed Xu Hongyu not as Chief Chaplain or Master Xu.

She is a maid who has grown up with Xu Hongyu since she was a child. She has accompanied Xu Hongyu to practice martial arts. Now she does not have any rank or position in the City Guard Department, but she is Xu Hongyu's closest confidant.

“You want your sister to go to the inner city to practice martial arts?”

Xu Hongyu took a look at the note from the maid Xiao He and nodded slightly: "It's not bad, sure. You can settle this matter. Send the person to the Yu Family Martial Arts School and say he is mine."

 Xiaohe replied softly: "Yes."

 “Okay, you go down, I want to rest for a while.”

 Xu Hongyu waved her hand, Xiao He bowed slightly and retreated.

Xu Hongyu was left alone, lying gently on her side behind the short girl, with a look of exhaustion in her eyes. She was really not good at this kind of middle-ground strategy, manipulating all parties, and creating influence. She was better at fighting with swords and killing people. It's simpler. Sometimes I really want to cut off the smiling faces of He Mingxuan and others with a sword, but I can't do that in the position of the chief police officer.

It's easy to kill someone with a sword, but after the killing, you can't explain it. You can only take the blame and resign, and give up the position of the Chief Chaplain. That would be equivalent to handing over the entire Nancheng District City Guard Department, and it will be difficult to ask Yu Yu at that time. Family account.

 Many times, in order to avoid being used as a gunman, she could only hide her capabilities and bide her time and act sophisticated.

 Fortunately, there is Xiao He who can give her advice.

 Whenever a more suitable person from the Yu family comes to take over as the chief mission officer, she will be relieved. From now on, she would rather **** the salt fleet, travel through mountains and rivers, kill bandits and eliminate monsters, than be too lazy to do such errands again.

 Heart tired.

 …

the other side.

 Chen Mu returned home.

I mentioned to Chen Yue that she might be arranged to practice martial arts in the inner city.

The little girl agreed quickly. Although she didn't like martial arts training very much, since it was Chen Mu's arrangement, she would do it well. The principle was that even if she couldn't help Chen Mu, she couldn't cause him any trouble. idea.

Chen Mu didn't know what Chen Yue thought. He just thought that she also liked martial arts. After all, he had instilled in her stories for two or three years, about Hua Mulan joining the army for her father, and about the empress not becoming an immortal, but just living in the world of mortals. Brother Zhongzhong is back... Anyway, let's cultivate a spirit that is not inferior to others first, and then it will be easy to study literature and martial arts in the future.

 The next day.

As soon as Chen Mu finished practicing the morning skin-scaling technique, the old servant reported that a woman came to his door.

I thought it was Xu Hongyu who came in person, and I was very surprised. But when I arrived at the door to greet her, I was greeted by a plainly dressed girl in Tsing Yi. Although she was not as cool and beautiful as Xu Hongyu, she still had the grace of Jasper Xiaohe.

In addition, one can notice from his every move that the opponent possesses martial arts skills, his steps are steady and his breathing is long. Chen Mu feels as if he is no less than Chai Min Baoyi. Such a figure is still quite rare in the outer city, let alone a young woman. "Chen Mu, this lady is..."

"I have been serving the chief mission officer since I was a child and have no official position. Sir Chen, just call me Xiao He. Miss, please let me take your sister to the inner city." Xiao He gave Chen Mu a slight salute and behaved gracefully.

Chen Mu saw this and returned a salute, sighing in his heart that Xu Hongyu came from a wealthy family. Even the maids around him were so outstanding. They behaved calmly and politely, and their martial arts skills were unfathomable.

 “Yue’er!”

 Chen Mu looked back and called out.

When the old servant came to report just now, he had already asked Chen Yue to prepare.

After calling out, Chen Yue came to the door. He glanced at Xiao He first, blinked and said, "Is my sister the chief minister? She's so beautiful."

Xiaohe smiled slightly and said: "I am just the lady's maid. I am a bit thin-faced. How can I compare with the lady? My sister is in trouble. It is not too late to practice martial arts at this age. I may achieve extraordinary things in the future."

While observing the brothers Chen Mu and Chen Yue calmly, he nodded slightly in his heart, secretly thinking that the person Miss Miss has chosen this time is indeed good. The two brothers and sisters have their own merits. Chen Mu has a calm demeanor, bright eyes, and a perfect demeanor. He has no arrogance and has extraordinary understanding. He can practice his sword skills on his own. He will be a figure in the future.

As for Chen Yue, although she has no martial arts talent at the moment and no qualifications can be seen at a glance, she looks honest and cute, but in fact her eyes are smart. The words she just said seemed to come out of her mouth like a simple and honest girl, but she has followed Xu Hongyu for many years. , I have met countless people, and as a maid, I can vaguely judge by observing their words and expressions, maybe it is half true and half intentional.

If only the lady could do a little...

well.

Xiaohe shook his head slightly in his heart, but looked at Chen Yue with a smile on his face and said: "If you have packed up, let's go with my sister. I will also tell you some of the rules of the Yu Family Martial Arts School on the way."

Chen Yue opened her big, honest and lovely eyes and said, "I...after I go to the inner city, can I still come back to see my brother?"

Chen Mu didn't wait for Xiao He to reply. He stretched out his hand and flicked Chen Yue's forehead and said: "Practice your martial arts well in the inner city. I will go to the inner city to see you when I have time. When you have finished practicing your kung fu, where do you want to go?" It will be all right."

 The inner city and the outer city are really two worlds.

According to what Chen Mu has learned so far, the martial arts schools in the inner city, especially those of families like the Yu family, are closer to the style of chivalrous people traveling around the world.

Those who can practice martial arts in martial arts schools in the inner city are either from powerful families or are rich and capable. They often cannot experience the world of fighting for a piece of steamed bun in the outer city, so they see the whole world differently.

 Like an outer city.

 Occasionally, some murders occurred, and a certain squire died at home.

 Sometimes it is not the villains who break into the house at night to commit murder, but some young warriors from the inner city who are "acting chivalrously."

Even many young warriors would often go out of the city together to practice, hunt monsters and beasts, clean up bandits outside the city, and compete with each other for fame. Xu Hongyu was once one of them.

Chen Yue has experienced the warmth and coldness of the bottom of the outer city, and then entering the inner city to grow and experience in such an environment is also a good thing in Chen Mu's opinion. It will allow her to have a more comprehensive understanding of the world, and then gradually form A concept of her own.
