Madam General, please run slower.
Chapter 139 I Don't Like Guessing
"You use your spiritual power quite well." Li looked at Qu Shi and praised him.
"Thank you for your guidance, sister." Qu Shi was no longer shy and smiled. "I'm afraid my mother must be waiting anxiously. I'll leave first."
Qu Shi picked up the talismans on the table and put them carefully in his arms. After seeing Li nodded in agreement, he stood up, bowed and left, as if forgetting that he was the one who should be bowed to.
Looking at Wei Xianchen who was in despair, Yu Xiaochen pulled at the corner of his clothes and reminded him in a low voice: "Uncle Xianchen, if you don't want the punishment to be doubled later, you'd better take the pen and leave quickly."
Xiao Chen's words woke him up, and Wei Xianchen quickly picked up the talisman and brush on the table, "Boss, I'll go downstairs and draw the talisman first."
"Sister, I'll go supervise Uncle Xianchen." Yu Xiaochen volunteered and raised her hand. Without waiting for Yu Xun to stop her, she turned around and chased after Wei Xianchen.
Yu Xun withdrew his hand in the air with some embarrassment. Yu Xiaochen had been nagging him the whole afternoon about how he was being pursued like crazy, and now he didn't know how to face it in front of the protagonist.
Li took the lead in breaking the deadlock and handed the brochure on the table to Yu Xun. "This is the list of items to be auctioned tonight. General, take a look and see if you like anything."
Yu Xun responded softly, flipping through the book casually for a few times, and his attention was drawn to the finale on the last page.
Li followed his gaze and raised his eyebrows slightly, "General, are you also interested in talismans?"
"I heard from the mansion before..." Yu Xun stole a glance at Li. He couldn't bring himself to say the word concubine. Although he hadn't done anything, he felt a little guilty for some reason. "I heard people talking about it. I haven't used it, so I'm naturally curious."
"I left three for Jiang Wan, but your wife didn't give them to you?" Li was a little confused. She had considered that Jiang Wan might leave the talisman to Yu Xun and her mother, so she gave three to her. But she didn't expect that Jiang Wan would protect the talisman like a treasure and didn't want to give it to anyone.
"No... not a concubine anymore..." Yu Xun wanted to explain to Li, but he didn't know where to start.
Li waved his hand nonchalantly, "I'm used to it. I know you sent the people away from the village."
"you know?"
So have you been paying attention to me all these years? Yu Xun's eyes lit up, but Li broke his fantasy the next second.
"Yes, I gave them a few talismans just to observe their effects. Not only Jiang Wan, but also the two sisters of the Song family and the princess's daughter Tan Su'er. I have people keeping an eye on them."
"So that's how it is." Yu Xun smiled bitterly and continued to look down at the introduction of the talisman in the booklet. He looked like a big wolfdog drenched by water, with drooping ears, looking so pitiful.
Li paid a little attention and understood what Yu Xun was concerned about. She chuckled and drank the flower tea on the table. She had someone spend a lot of money to buy it from Shi Yaojue. "I hate guessing the most. If some people don't say it, I can only pretend I don't know."
Yu Xun paused while flipping through the book, but soon returned to his usual calm demeanor, "I don't like guessing."
"That's quite a coincidence." Li crossed her legs and leaned lazily on the back of the chair. She immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation. Now she was sure that Yu Xun, who shamelessly asked for a reward in the carriage that day, was indeed acting like a person who had lost his mind.
The tinkling of the wind chimes broke the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two.
"The auction has begun." Li hung up the bead curtain by the window and lowered his eyes to look at the scene below.
Yu Xun also stood up and walked to the window. He could clearly see the crowds of people below and was a little surprised. "Why are there so many people?"
He had come across auction sites several times before, and the number of people coming today was more than three times that of usual days.
"It was all caused by that Wei Xianchen." Speaking of Wei Xianchen, Li was both angry and wanted to laugh.
"Most of the talismans sold in our building were drawn by him for practice. Occasionally, one or two of them were drawn by me and sold at a high price. This guy used the high-level talismans drawn by the Pavilion Master himself as a gimmick a few months ago to promote them in auction houses elsewhere.
I thought that the talismans I had drawn for him before were reserved, and in order to expand the market of the Qianwu Dynasty, he kept all of them to create momentum. But this bastard called me over in the afternoon and cried and begged me to draw five of them temporarily.
Therefore, a large number of these people are foreign merchants who are entrusted by the powerful and come only for the talismans. "
Yu Xun silently watched the commotion below. The few strokes she casually drew were worth several lifetimes' salary for him. What could he do to keep her?
Yu Xun was feeling depressed. When his eyes fell on the exotic girl on the stage wearing thin fabrics, he abruptly looked away, his panic was particularly obvious, "You..."
Li was looking at the beauty on the stage calmly. She was generous, sexy and natural. She liked her very much.
"As long as there are talismans for sale, there will be such an arrangement. It can be regarded as a small benefit for buyers from our building." Li shrugged indifferently, "Only beautiful women can arouse people's desire to spend money."
The scene below the stage was also extremely lively. Those who raised their arms, shouted and whistled deliberately were foreigners who had seen this before, while those who lowered their heads, covered their faces and could not help but peek were locals from the Qianwu Dynasty.
Yu Xun's mind was filled with the paintings on the wall of Jinli Hall. Some of them were sent by Wu Yu before, and some were painted by him later, but the protagonist was always the person in front of him. He could still hear the crisp sound of the ankle bell in his ears.
However, Yu Xun soon realized that the bell sound was not an illusion. The sound was exactly the sound of the wind chimes on the wall. After Li injected his spiritual power into it, the bell sound disappeared. It was obviously a message to Li.
It was not until Li withdrew his hand and the wind chime stopped shaking that Yu Xun asked, "Can this send a message without speaking?"
"Well, use spiritual power to transmit your thoughts. If the general is interested, you can go to Wei Xianchen to discuss the price." Now only Li and Wei Xianchen can use it. But Li didn't plan to say this, otherwise someone would definitely think about it.
"Is there anything smaller that is more convenient to carry around?" Yu Xun looked at the long string of wind chimes. He was quite interested, but he couldn't just put them on his waist.
"Isn't that just a sound transmission stone? Its usage is similar to this wind chime. But the materials are insufficient, so I haven't been able to develop it yet." In fact, Li also thought that this wind chime was useless, but Wei Xianchen thought it looked beautiful and insisted on hanging a string of them as a decoration.
"What materials do you need? Maybe I have them." Yu Xun thought about the mines he had, thinking that they might contain the materials he needed.
Li looked at Yu Xun, who had an innocent face, and thought about how to say it without discouraging him. "No, there won't be any in the entire continent, because it is not something here."
Yu Xun pursed his lips. This sentence was a disguised admission that she was not from here. "So this is something that only exists in the place where you lived before?"
"I guess so." Li did not deny it.
"Can you tell me about it?" Yu Xun took a deep breath, "Tell me about your past self."
"This is a long story, and it's hard to tell without some wine."
Things are getting weirder now, even the title of the goddess of a hidden family has popped up. Li doesn't want to hide it from Yu Xun anymore, so he chuckled and said, "If the general is not interested in the auction, why don't you go back home early and prepare some wine and food?"
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the mansion." Yu Xun nodded in response.
The heavy wooden door blocked Yu Xun's departure, and Li's expression became solemn as well, because the Tanghulu in her sea of consciousness fell asleep again without her control.
