Chapter 177 Pole Climbing
Li Mulan widened her eyes. This brat is looking for death.
Chu Chenfeng was nervous inside, but his face showed no emotion at all. Only the slightly red tips of his ears revealed his inner nervousness at the moment, "Miss Li...when did you know?"
Li Mulan coughed twice and said, "Not long ago, I just found out."
Both of them were extremely embarrassed, like two strangers who were arranged by their parents to go on a blind date. They felt uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
Huo Yuanruo scratched his head in confusion. He didn't want to waste time with them anymore. He was going to practice martial arts. Humph, I want to defeat my master as soon as possible and become the leader of the martial arts world as soon as possible.
Li Mulan didn't want to continue facing this embarrassing situation, so she took the initiative to ask, "What is the matter with the Regent?"
Chu Chenfeng finally came back to his senses, "I do have a few things to ask Miss Li."
Li Mulan raised her eyebrows. What else? "Your Highness, please tell me what you want to say."
He didn't even pour tea for the guests and went straight to the point.
Chu Chenfeng didn't think it was a big deal, but Xing Yi, who was standing by, felt a little unfair for his master. After all, he took away two kilograms of Biluo from his master, but now he couldn't even make a cup of tea for his master?
"Miss Li, why don't you sit down and talk? Our master is still standing here, hehe, hehe."
Chu Chenfeng frowned and looked at this subordinate who was usually quite steady with displeasure. Why was he so reckless today? What's wrong with standing? He sits all day long. It's just right for him to stand and talk now.
Li Mulan felt a little embarrassed by what she said. Just when she was about to call Qingyu, she saw someone coming out with a tray.
Qingyu came over with a smile on her face, "Xiaojiu, sit down and talk with the guest. I made some tea. Although it's not as good as Biluo's, it has a different flavor. Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"
Chu Chenfeng nodded, "Thank you."
Everything was arranged clearly, and Li Mulan said no more. The two of them sat in the yard and drank tea.
After taking two sips of tea, Chu Chenfeng gave Xingyi a look, and the other party immediately put a rectangular black box on the table.
Li Mulan looked at Chu Chenfeng with a puzzled look, what? Giving gifts?
Chu Chenfeng hurriedly explained, "This is a crossbow made according to your last drawing. I brought it to you to have a look. Is there anything else that needs to be improved?"
Li Mulan was really interested now. She opened the box and found a black crossbow inside. It was much more exquisite than the one she made herself. Li Mulan tried it and couldn't let it go.
"It's very well done, more detailed than what I could do myself."
Chu Chenfeng naturally knew that she had done a good job. Her drawing was very detailed and the craftsmen understood it at a glance. This time he brought it over just to... take a look.
Seeing how pleased she was, Chu Chenfeng said directly, "This was made according to your drawing. If we talk about fineness, it's the drawing you drew that's fine, so the craftsman can see it clearly at a glance. This first finished product, I brought it here and gave it to the girl."
"Really?" Li Mulan smiled with her eyebrows curved, but her eyes never left the crossbow.
"Of course." Seeing that she liked it, Chu Chenfeng felt a little better.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"It is the prince who should thank the young lady."
Li Mulan didn't argue with him about this. She knew how useful this thing was, so she deserved a thank you. She put the crossbow into the black box and looked at Qingyu, "Sister, help me put it away."
"it is good."
Qingyu held the black box in her arms, but she still stood behind Li Mulan and did not leave. Nonsense, this regent is a stranger. He went straight to the woman's courtyard regardless of anything. Even if she was engaged, she could not be careless.
"The prince said there are a few things, what else?"
"Also, the art of suturing. I wonder when you can find time to teach me. I have found a few doctors from the Imperial Hospital and the major military camps, and I am waiting for you to come and visit when you have time."
"Well," Li Mulan had really forgotten about it. She had already promised the other party and received the benefits. It would be unreasonable not to do anything. "How about three days later?"
Chu Chenfeng nodded slightly, "Listen to the girl."
Li Mulan frowned slightly, "Don't call me girl, it sounds weird, just call me by my name."
A hint of surprise flashed across Chu Chenfeng's calm eyes, but it was only for a moment, and no one saw it. "Then I wonder how others call you?"
"Master and fellow brothers all call me Xiaojiu, because I am the ninth child. My parents and grandfather all call me Lan'er. As for the prince..."
Before Li Mulan finished speaking, Chu Chenfeng directly replied, "Then I will also call you Lan'er, just like Master Li and the others."
Qingyu on the side frowned. This Regent is really trying to climb up the ladder.
Li Mulan was stunned, but she didn't refuse. It was just that this name seemed too intimate. She and him weren't that familiar. But thinking of his identity as her fiancé, she decided to let him call her whatever he wanted.
"That's fine, is there anything else?"
Chu Chenfeng looked around and didn't see Long Yi. "Also, as I told Lan'er last time, I want to meet Jian Qi."
Li Mulan looked at Qingyu, "Sister, where is Long Yi?"
"In the back, shall I go call him?"
Li Mulan stood up and said, "Don't bother, I'll take the prince directly there."
Long Yi and Jian Qi were men, so they shouldn't be in Li Mulan's courtyard. But there was nothing they could do under the circumstances, so they were placed in the innermost room, where no one would see them if they didn't come out on weekdays.
Chu Chenfeng also slowly stood up and followed Li Mulan.
Chu Chenfeng only stayed in there for half a quarter of an hour. No one knew what the two of them talked about. Li Mulan was not interested, so she did not follow him in.
When they came out, Long Yi followed them out. They both had icy faces, so Li Mulan really couldn't make out anything.
Long Yi stood at the door and bowed to Chu Chenfeng, "Thank you, Your Highness, for not pursuing the matter. Long Yi will remember this in his heart."
Chu Chenfeng glanced at Li Mulan who was standing beside him and said, "No need to do this. I am doing this for Lan'er's sake."
Long Yi naturally understood what Chu Chenfeng meant, but he didn't want to owe anyone anything. "No matter what, this is Jian Qi's fault. As his elder brother, I can't escape the blame. Long Yi is sending a message to the prince. The prince should need it right now."
Chu Chenfeng raised his eyes slightly but didn't say anything.
Long Yi took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it directly to Xing Yi. "This is the current location of the Third Prince of Northern Qi. I think this information should be of some use to His Majesty."
Xingyi opened the paper in disbelief. They had just received news from Xinger today, saying that they had failed and the Third Prince of Northern Qi had escaped. And Longyi sent the news at this time, this...
