Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]
Chapter 45 Northern Assembly · Front
The expression on Jiang Qi's face was also unexpected, but it was only unexpected.The witness next to him excitedly twirled around Mu Xishan's fingers and shouted, "Oh my god! This is a pair of 'butterfly prints' that only happened in half a century! My father has been a witness all his life. The unfulfilled last wish was actually bumped into by me!" Jiang Rong's expression also became subtle, and the original dissatisfaction with their marriage was also put away... The resonance of the soul is always more reliable than the appearance.
In the past, Jiang Qi had no idea about "Eternal Companion" when he heard about it, and he didn't find anything special after he succeeded.Seeing that it was getting late, the witnesses were asked to register as soon as possible, and the personal information of the two changed from "widowed" and "single" to "married".
A group of people walked out of the office, and the busy street made room for them. Jiang Qi led the way, Jiang Rong followed to talk, and Mu Xishan followed in an unusually silent manner. Jiang Qi felt too intense attention, and listened keenly. I heard the whispers from the passers-by, "What's going on... I seem to see tears in the eyes of the 'Madam of the City Lord'. Is she crying with joy, or does she not want to marry?"
Jiang Qi turned his head, and then his eyes froze——
Under the street lamps, Mu Xishan's dark green eyes shone like a blue lake, with a kind of confusion, mixed with inquiry, and a little unknowable emotion.
And those unknowables moved Jiang Qi's heart slightly, and inexplicable emotions arose in an instant.When the evening wind came, the wind and sand blew up all over the sky, and Jiang Qi's cloak also rolled away from the ground.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Qi suddenly raised his cloak and wrapped Mu Xishan into his arms. The natural curtain formed by the cloak instantly blocked the sight of passers-by, and also blocked those discussions.
Mu Xishan stared at Jiang Qi, felt a little air flow in his blurred eyes, which was blown by Jiang Qi, and then the liquid accumulated in the eye sockets gushed out.
"... You got sand in your eyes."
Jiang Qi lowered his voice, said so with a serious expression, opened his mouth to bite off the rough glove on the other hand, and wiped away the tears on Mu Xishan's face with calloused fingers.In the small space, the breathing of the two was close at hand. Jiang Qi lowered his head and looked at Muxi Mountain, which was not much lower than him. The expression on the other party's face was still frozen.
Jiang Qi pursed his lips, unable to explain the impulsiveness from that moment to the present, and moved his lips to say something suddenly, but Mu Xishan suddenly grabbed his hand that was about to put on the glove, and his eyes were wrapped around the butterfly mark on his finger.
Contrary to Mu Xishan's expression, it was so slight that it seemed to be in a dream, and it seemed to be so cautious that it could be easily pierced.
"Si...Simon...?"
Hearing an unfamiliar name that seemed to belong to a man, Jiang Qi's heart was slightly blocked, and the original question was choked back into his throat. He raised his head, his face's expression sank, and he frowned, looking down at Muxi Mountain with a high-ranking gaze. Said: "No matter who you still miss in your heart... But I hope you can remember that now we are legal partners, and I don't accept any betrayal!"
After speaking, Jiang Qi put on the glove with one hand, retracted the arm supporting the cloak, turned around and strode away without looking back.
"Eh?!!" Jiang Rongxian was shocked by the "two-person world" of his unfriendly elder brother. The shock didn't last long, when he saw his elder brother change his face and leave. He looked back at Mu Xishan standing there with a cold face, and waved his hand to send the adjutant to deal with it. , turned around and chased after his brother, Jiang Rong's voice could be heard from a distance: "Brother! Where are you going if you don't go back to the City Lord's Mansion at night?!"
The adjutant scratched his head, looked at the wife of the city lord who was left alone by her husband after she just got married, and said awkwardly: "Ah... I will take you back to the mansion to rest first."
Mu Xishan looked back at the direction where Jiang Qi left, restrained his emotions, nodded and followed the adjutant... He was sure that no matter why the two could form soul mates, Jiang Qi was not Simon.This is just another complete stranger to Mu Xishan, a person who has nothing to do with him, whether angry or otherwise - an annoying person!
So Mu Xishan settled down, didn't bother about Jiang Qi's change of face, and spent the night at the Panlong base.
Before dawn, Mu Xishan got up from the bed and prepared to return to base S.The maid who had been notified last night was already waiting outside the door early, and after serving Mu Xishan to wash, she sent Mu Xishan out.Outside the yard, stood a tall figure, just a shadow in the darkness.
Mu Xishan approached slowly, and was slightly surprised to recognize this person.Jiang Qi looked back at Mu Xishan earnestly, then turned his head to lead the way. Mu Xishan looked at Jiang Qi's back and said:
"You are busy with government affairs, so you don't need to get up early to see me off."
Jiang Qi said in an emotionless voice: "When your partner travels, your husband sees you off...it's just a responsibility, you don't have to think about it."
Mu Xishan looked up at Jiang Qi's taut lines from cheekbones to chin, and twitched the corners of his mouth... He said it as if he was being affectionate, but he was still just as annoying. Mu Xishan withdrew his gaze, turned cold, and stopped talking to Jiang Qi.
The two walked out of the house maintaining a stiff atmosphere.
The maid who followed behind did not breathe a sigh of relief until Mu Xishan's car left. Looking at the city lord's stiff face early in the morning, she murmured in her heart: Are these two lovers or enemies?No matter how inadvertent the exchange of words, the change of eyes, there is a feeling of gunpowder everywhere.
The two bases are far apart, starting before dawn, it is estimated that they will arrive at the S base near noon.
On the way of driving in Muxi Mountain, the latest developments of the two of them spread all over the country again.
Breaking news [-]: "China's No. [-] Beautiful Man and Former No. [-] Ugly Man tied the knot, and the wedding will be held in two months!" "
Breaking news [-]: "The "highest supernatural activity" in history has encountered the "average activity", and various experts predict the childbirth situation! "
Breaking news [-]: "After half a century, the "eternal partner" reappears, deciphering the whole process of their love! "
Breaking news [-]: "Suman is defeated and the ugly man turns over, and the Northern Conference is expected to fight on the same stage!" "
When the newspaper was freshly out, Jiang Rong winked and discussed it with others. After the morning meeting was over, he squeezed in front of Jiang Qi who was closing the documents, spread out the front page of the newspaper, and pointed at the news four times with a narrow expression. , "Brother, look!"
Others also came over to say congratulations, "Hey, I also read the morning newspaper, congratulations to the city lord!"
"The people are crazy about it." Another person interjected, "There are only three pairs of couples who have formed an 'eternal contract' in history. Two couples who came from the president of the trade union and vigorously promoted classization... The residents said that no matter good or bad, each couple has done a big thing, and now it is finally our turn at the Panlong Base! Everyone hugged a lot Great expectations!"
"It's just a coincidence." Jiang Qi didn't think there was any necessary relationship between personal achievement and the contract.
Fu Jinglan sat on the sidelines and watched, her plump eyelashes drooping slightly, and her feminine face was unpredictable. She was born in a family that was opposed to Jiang Rong in the base. Even though he had little interest in power, he was unwilling to watch Jiang Qi pass too moist.
Jiang Qi happened to see the third piece of news at this time, and asked the secretary, "Is there Suman among the auditors of the Northern Conference?"
The secretary nodded, and Jiang Qi threw the newspaper into the secretary's hands, and said in a cold tone: "Reject Su Man's qualification for hearing." He did not choose a partner for the purpose of adding conversational resources to others.
Although Su Man's pursuit of Jiang Qi was not as obvious as Sun Feifei's, everyone knew it. Seeing Jiang Qi's disregard for human feelings, the secretary was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded.On the contrary, Jiang Rong immediately objected: "Oh, why don't you let Su Man come over? After all, she is a lively and fragrant beauty, so what's the point of coming here? Your refusal is not to slap Su Man in the face! Besides, even if she doesn't listen to the trial You can also come here privately, is it possible that you are still blocking the city gate and not letting you in?"
Jiang Qi turned a deaf ear to it.At this moment, the two brothers didn't notice that Fu Jinglan left his seat and followed the secretary.
On the other side, Mu Xishan, who arrived at the S base, also attended the delayed morning meeting after lunch.
In the conference room, Jiang Feng first introduced the process of the North Conference: "The conference lasted for three days in total. The first day was a formal meeting, which discussed the affairs of the North next month, and the second day was a friendship exchange meeting. Make transactions and discuss cooperation. The last day is to review the development of each base and evaluate the level up and down. The exhibits on the second day will also affect the level of the base, and the materials obtained by different levels will be different."
Mu Xishan took the information from Lu Bao and quickly read it.
There are four levels of bases, from high to low as A, B, C, and D.Evaluation reference conditions include base area, output value, number of residents, ratio of scattered superhumans to residents, number of civil servants, military strength, ratio of superhumans enlisted, etc... Mu Xishan turned to the last page of the clip and saw the s base The ratings for Phase [-] are:
Ding!
Mu Xishan asked puzzledly, "What if you drop out of the 'D' level?"
Lu Bao said with a sad expression: "The zero-level base will be declared bankrupt by the Panlong Base, take back the leadership of the city owner, and reassign the management of the acting city owner. If the situation improves, a new city owner will be selected from the original base. If the situation cannot be improved, it will be disbanded. The base, the original base's population and supplies are distributed to other bases nearby... When the former city lord was in power, we were always on the verge of bankruptcy."
Mu Xishan nodded to show that he knew, and Gui Chengmei said: "The people with supernatural powers have made up for it, and the population lost during the night raids has also recovered to more than [-] because of the continuous addition of new people to the base. The funds have already been relieved, and the area of expansion has also been recorded in According to the review data, the base is not in danger of being downgraded this time, the only problem is that our base does not have any products that can be sold to participate in the exchange conference."
"How did the former city lord solve it?"
After Mu Xishan asked, everyone present became silent, and there was embarrassment in the silence. Finally, Lu Bao, who had accompanied the meeting many times, whispered: "The former city owner was afraid of losing face, so he pretended to be sick every exchange meeting, so the other bases kept laughing at us. I got the 'exchange meeting must have a headache and brain fever syndrome'..."
From Lu Bao's unfinished tone, Mu Xishan could tell that this was not such a pleasant experience.
Pan Yi went out to collect flower materials yesterday and hadn't returned to the city yet. Mu Xishan inquired about the construction progress of Gaoshen's dwarf residence, and then announced the end of the meeting. He stood up and said, "As for the exchange of goods... I will find a way." The mutant silkworm was at this time It has pupated, and the production of glowstone should be almost done.
Jiang Feng knew exactly what Mu Xishan was thinking, so he called Zuo Qi to inform him, and then drove Mu Xishan to the dwarf cave in the quarantine area.
The two stepped out of the car, Zuo Qi waved to them at the entrance of the cave, and after they entered the cave, Zuo Qi waved away the dwarves who were about to come to say hello, and explained the business to Mu Xishan.
Today happened to be the day when a new batch of experimental fluorescent stones were unsealed, because there was still some time before leaving the seal, Zuo Qi took the two of them to the place where the mutated silkworms were stored, and told the situation on the way, "Yesterday, we have followed the The correct method is to take out hundreds of silkworm chrysalis and save them, and the rest are waiting for the moths to be raised again, and the silk is also being processed."
Zuo Qi led the two of them into a ventilated hole at a high place. There were countless small water tanks and the dwarf sitting behind the tanks.
There are ropes hanging in the distance, and strands of silver-white silk threads hang down from them.Under the rope stood a dwarf woman with quick hands and feet, neatly hanging the wet and heavy silk on the rope to dry, then sat back in front of an empty water tank, picked up the kettle, poured hot water into the cold water tank, When the water temperature is right, take out the silkworm cocoons the size of a fist from the grass pot next to them and put them in the tank, and stir them once in a while while soaking.
Zuo Qi led the two of them to go in, but Mu Xishan took a step back and returned to the outside of the cave, "Don't disturb them."
At this time, the silkworm cocoon in the water tank of the dwarf woman was swollen. The woman took out tweezers from the toolbox, reached into the water and fiddled with the palm-sized silkworm cocoon, squinted her eyes to find the silk head, pulled it out and wound it on the wooden wheel. Start turning the wooden wheel to draw silk. The mutated silkworm silk is thousands or even nearly [-] meters long from head to tail. Although skillful dwarves can make small tools, the cost of a wooden wheel is not high, and you need to hold the handle to turn it manually. .
Mu Xishan shifted his gaze, and saw these powerful dwarves pressing their shoulders and moving their hands and feet from time to time. Many of them had their fingers red and swollen, and their clothes and hair were soaked with sweat.
"Let's go." Mu Xishan turned and left first.
Zuo Qi followed closely, thinking that the unprofessionalism of the dwarves caused Mu Xishan's displeasure, so he heard Mu Xishan say in front of him: "Tomorrow, you ask the working dwarf to bring his household registration to Qian Sheng, and register for extra moral points."
Although Zuo Qi didn't understand the value of morality, but being able to help the city lord, and even adding a few more strokes to the household registration, made him happy and agreed again and again.
When a few people went down, they bumped into the dwarf who brought hot water to the spinning work.
The dwarf was holding a boiling kettle, and when he saw the city lord's face, he almost splashed the water on himself in surprise. After being reprimanded by Zuo Qi, he lifted the pot to get out of the way, and watched Zuo Qi lead the two of them. When I went down, I suddenly thought of something and shouted: "Patriarch! I saw the group of people who studied the mutant fireflies go into the experiment hole just now. It should be time for Kaifeng. Go over and have a look!"
Zuo Qi led the two of them to another cave, which was already full of dwarves.
A voice shouted, "Open!" Then several dwarfs holding the iron ball unscrewed the iron ball at the same time, and the light was bright, and the exclamation and admiration came and went, and the people who were close could hardly open their eyes. The transparent balls, just a few experimental objects, illuminated the dark cave like daytime, and the dwarves jumped up excitedly, shouting:
"Success!"
Zuo Qi stood up and interrupted the excited dwarves, "Show it to the city lord first."
The person in charge of the experiment just noticed Mu Xishan, and hurried over and handed out something with both hands. Mu Xishan took it and looked at it carefully. The spherical shape was round, and there was a touch of gray in the transparent warm yellow resin, and there was a small black dot in the middle, which looked like Similar to the burning candle wick, the gray color is actually the trace left by the mutated firefly melting into the resin, and the black dot is the animal core that the firefly cannot fuse.
Mu Xishan nodded with satisfaction and asked who the producer was.
Zuo Ban pointed to the dwarf who was handing the things and said, "This is a mountain village, mainly researching, and the rest are laymen."
Mu Xishan reminded Zuo Banner to take this group of people to register for moral points, and brought up the substantive topic: "In the future, the base will provide materials, and you will make them. The base will give you one-tenth of the income from the finished product as your reward."
The dwarves hurriedly shook their heads like rattles, Zuo Banner said: "City Lord, you have done so many things for us, and we are willing to do things for you. Don't you make us feel ashamed by giving money?!"
"I still need you to help me with a lot of things. Research requires funds, and the base cannot let you work for nothing. There is no need to argue about this." Mu Xishan put down this topic, turned the fluorescent stone in his hand, and thought, Said to Yamamura: "I think this still needs a lifting frame, or a hanging ring. By the way, how long does it take to make this, and can it be mass-produced?"
Because of the direct dialogue with the city lord, the mountain village was a little nervous, and he said frivolously: "Now that the formula ratio is clear, it can be made in one or one day, that is, the finished product will be a little worse."
Mu Xishan nodded, and returned the fluorescent stone to the mountain village, "Within three days, you can make the handmade fluorescent stone and the bottom bracket into exquisite ornaments, and for batches, you only need to configure a small hanging ring." Quality tiered sales.
Yamamura nodded in assurance.
Zuo Qi sent the two of them out, and by the way, brought the flower materials that Mu Xishan left in the isolation area for them to deal with last time. When they passed by the open space in the center of the cave, dozens of dwarves were packing their luggage and preparing to go out.
Mu Xishan looked at it strangely, and Jiang Feng next to him explained: "Since the dwarves entered the city, there have been a lot of novel gadgets in the base. They set off at this time and arrived at the base almost in the evening, just in time for the night market. Some came back late." Yes, I will simply stay overnight at the base."
Mu Xishan wondered, "Isn't the dwelling place of the dwarves not yet built?"
The corners of Jiang Feng's always tensed mouth slightly raised, "They are all very nice, and they have cultivated a deep friendship with many residents of the base, which can be borrowed. Before, there were residents who came to the quarantine area to hunt and stayed in the dwarf's cave."
Thinking that Base S has accepted dwarfs well, Mu Xishan felt relieved, but apart from Base S, the whole society has always harbored deep-rooted prejudice against dwarves.
At this time, the two passed by a dwarf girl. Mu Xishan inadvertently saw a transparent bag filled with thin paper in the shape of a human face, which was wet, soaked in liquid, and petals were still floating.
"what is this?"
As soon as Mu Xishan made a sound, the dwarf girl who was tidying things up was startled, and she subconsciously explained: "I, I, I didn't steal the flowers, I picked these myself."
Mu Xishan was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what the dwarf girl meant, Jiang Feng looked at the petals, then at the flower material that Zuo Banner had processed behind him, and calmed down the frightened little girl before rushing to Mu Xishan and said: " ...It looks like a mask, something for girls."
Seeing that the two of them didn't mean to blame her, the girl clattered and explained: "My family has several family beauty recipes. I like to study this since I was a child. Last time, the patriarch entrusted me with the task of handling flowers. Well, after I finished processing, I was a little curious about the effect of these flowers, so I ran to the isolation area to pick some, um, only a small one... I don’t know how to pick the others, and I almost got hurt every time. After that, I I added the ones I found into the formula experiment, and the beauty effect is very good, and it is sold like crazy in the night market!"
Mu Xishan had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the miraculous detoxification effect of mutated silkworms, and later generations would also use silk to make beauty products.Mu Xishan took out a lot of processed materials from Zuo Qi, and asked Zuo Qi to fetch some silkworm cocoons. When Zuo Qi came back, he handed the things to the little girl, saying:
"You try to make these things into a 'mask', the effect may be better."
The little girl was seriously entrusted by the city lord, but she was a little shy, "Ah, I just did it randomly... Let me try."
Mu Xishan showed a gentle expression, "Don't feel pressured, just try it... But, once the experiment is successful, please tell me immediately, before that, don't sell it arbitrarily."
Finally, Mu Xishan asked the little girl's name, and knowing her name was "Xiangori", he took the remaining flowers and Jiang Feng to bid farewell to the dwarfs and returned to the base.
On the second day, Zuo Banner led the dwarves to register their moral values. Although everyone did not pay much attention to moral values at this time, this situation was completely overturned in the afternoon!
The adjutant in charge of excavating deep underground water sources, who has had a relationship with Muxi Mountain several times, is surnamed Hou.Adjutant Hou personally visited the City Lord's Mansion and reported to Mu Xishan: "Your Excellency, the water outlet leading from the fault zone to the ground has already released water. Now you can find someone to fetch water, and you can also arrange for someone to build a water pipeline."
After the news spread from the City Lord's Mansion, the entire S base became a sensation!
While everyone was still discussing whether the water price was much higher than domestic water, Mu Xishan asked Lu Bao to post an official announcement.
People who read newspapers in the small square gathered behind Lu Bao. When they saw the content posted, the residents all froze, then rubbed their eyes, and froze again!In the crowd of onlookers, there were a few supernatural beings and disabled people, surrounded by a young man with thick eyebrows, standing outside to watch the announcement.
"...the deep underground water source has come out, from now on—" A crippled man with supernatural abilities can't help growing his mouth while reading the announcement, "All local residents with positive moral values can buy it, and According to the moral value, the purchase price is as follows..." The supernatural person read it quickly, and he could put down two fists in his mouth, "The moral value is higher than [-], and he can still receive a liter of deep water for free every day? It's five Between one hundred and one hundred, you can also buy a certain amount per person at a price lower than that of domestic water! How could such a good thing happen!!!”
The leader with thick eyebrows pinched the mouth of the supernatural being who was about to crack, and sighed: "It seems that we have chosen the right place."
The supernatural person widened his eyes, turned his head and looked at the announcement several more times, and when he turned his head, the boss had already walked a certain distance with the other people, and hurriedly followed, "Boss, where are you going?!"
"Go and register. The base needs to build water pipes now. A day of free service will give you a little bit of moral value." When they came to the Ministry of Urban Construction, they found that the office hall was already crowded with people. Can't squeeze in.Even the hawkers in other streets dragged their stalls to register, and bags of goods were piled up beside the road.Several people were dumbfounded. The young man with thick eyebrows leaned against the wall and sighed, "...wait."
The day before the Northern Conference, Shancun delivered the fluorescent stones that were prepared as required early in the morning.
At the morning meeting, Mu Xishan took out the finished product from the box, and the dazzling light instantly amazed the audience. After Mu Xishan explained that "fluorescent stone" can supplement the sunlight and continue to shine, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Gui Chengmei who was going to accompany him couldn't put it down. Received it, looked at the workmanship, and squinted the eyes pierced by the light to observe the luminous body, amazed: "This is incredible! It's a miracle!"
After being circulated by everyone, it was recorded that the number carried was one hundred, thirty high-quality goods, and seventy ordinary goods.
When confirming the accompanying list, Mu Xishan suddenly suggested: "Bring the inventor of the fluorescent stone!"
Gui Chengmei was stunned, "...This is a bit inappropriate, City Master, although our base is getting along well with the dwarfs, but other bases still have some prejudices, it's better to wait until they understand these dwarfs—"
"Wait!" A flash of inspiration flashed in Mu Xishan's mind... How about a dwarf?The virtues of a dwarf are character and creativity. Character needs long-term contact, and creativity needs commodities as a carrier. With the spread of commodities, reputation will be spread.Mu Xishan has made a decision, "The products for this conference will be named after 'Mountain Village'."
"Isn't Shancun the one who researched the fluorescent stone?" Gui Chengmei also realized after finishing speaking, "Shancun! Yes, 'Shancun Brand Fluorescent Stone', are you trying to create momentum for the dwarves?"
Jiang Feng frowned, "But this will weaken your achievements in this matter."
At this time, the meeting was approaching noon, and Mu Xishan began to feel tired, and the raging sleepiness became more and more intense, making him drowsy. Mu Xishan looked at the calendar on the wall, and then remembered that he came here today In the second seven days, he shook his head and managed to pull himself together and said:
"Come here, the meeting is over."
Jiang Feng saw Mu Xishan's discomfort and didn't argue any more.After the others left, Mu Xishan stood up from his seat. Jiang Feng saw that his hands and feet were weak, and walked behind Mu Xishan silently, holding Mu Xishan's shoulders and walking out.
Mu Xishan returned to the City Lord's Mansion, went to bed without even eating lunch, Jiang Feng covered Mu Xishan with a thin quilt, closed the door and went out, and asked Zhu Er Mu Xishan's recent health status, whether he stayed up late or was overworked.
Zhu'er knew Jiang Feng's loyalty, thought it over carefully, and finally said uncertainly, "No, most of the candles in the castellan's house were extinguished on time, and there were not many cases of staying up late... I remember that on this day a week ago, the castellan also suddenly Feeling sleepy, after waking up, let me prepare the tools for taking a bath. Before that, the city lord was very water-saving, but since then, I have insisted on taking a bath every day... Ah, let’s not talk about it, I’ll let someone boil the water, and the city lord will wait It must be used when you wake up."
Jiang Feng didn't hear anything unusual. He watched Zhu'er leave while he stood guard at the door. While waiting, Zhu'er came over and said that a dwarf girl was visiting with a mask, and asked if he wanted to wake up the city lord.
Jiang Feng still remembered that Mu Xishan told a little girl to study something in the dwarf cave last time, "I'll go and have a look."
Not long after Jiang Feng left, Mu Xishan woke up and asked Zhu'er to prepare bath tools.After Jiang Feng asked the dwarf girl, on the way back he heard that Mu Xishan was taking a bath, so he took the dwarf girl and waited in the reception room next to him. After a while, he heard footsteps approaching, Jiang Feng looked up at the door, and stopped instantly——
The person who came in had long black hair that was different from others, and it stuck to the back smoothly, with a little moisture. Mu Xishan's skin was smooth and delicate, not as rough as before, and his facial features were slightly familiar and strange, as if something happened Subtle changes, the eyebrows are more tidy, the eyelashes are more dense, the nose is slightly raised, the lips are fresh and tender, and the body line wrapped in clothes is more full of curvature.
Finally, there are those eyes that are always beautiful, greener in color and cold in gaze.
Zhu'er followed behind, wearing new clothes and wet hair that hadn't been wiped dry. She was dumbfounded when she saw Jiang Feng, and teased: "Mr. Jiang Jun... Pay attention to your expression." Although he When I went in to pack the bathing tools just now, I fell into the tub because I was too surprised.
"How did you become like this..." Jiang Feng said slightly at a loss.
Seeing that Mu Xishan didn't intend to repeat the explanation, Zhuer replied, "The Santo said it was a formula that could remove the scars and gradually restore his appearance... I never thought the Santo was so good-looking!"
Jiang Feng heard that Mu Xishan had lied to Zhu'er, so he knew that he had no intention of explaining, so he didn't ask, and introduced to Mu Xishan the mask in the dwarf girl's hand.Muxishan first asked about the effect, which was detoxification and beauty. Kaori raised her face and said, "I tried it on my own face, and the effect is more amazing than all the masks I have made! Although I don't like such smooth wrinkles, But your girls sure like it!"
Mu Xishan asked about the quantity again, and after learning that several hundred pieces had been successfully soaked, he nodded and said, "...In this case, this mask should be called 'Xianori Mask'."
Kaori let out a small exclamation, unexpectedly naming it after her own name, Mu Xishan turned around and arranged for Jiang Feng to make the packaging bag, "Find some skillful dwarves and write down the efficacy, date, and production method on the packaging. , Take it to the exchange meeting tomorrow as a trial product."
On the day of participating in the North Conference, in order not to delay the afternoon meeting, we had to get up at four o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Feng went out behind Mu Xishan. Since he was not in the accompanying list, he had no choice but to send Mu Xishan to the gathering place at the city gate. The dark city gate was lit with torches, and several carts were parked beside the city gate. Someone leaned out of the window and looked at the license plate to know that the city lord was coming.Although these people got up very early, none of them yawned. They were all full of energy, chatting and laughing. I heard that there were two products guaranteed, and the S base instantly gained confidence. .
Jiang Feng stopped the car and saw Mu Xishan push the door to get out of the car, hesitantly asked: "Do you want to cover it?"
Mu Xishan stepped out of the car and said nonchalantly, "It's not necessary, just to promote new products."
The person on the cart saw a man with an outstanding face get off the city lord's car, and was taken aback for a moment, "Since when did such a good-looking person appear in our base? I think he is even better-looking than Suman..." The sharp-eyed man Seeing the imprint on Mu Xishan's hand, the man exclaimed in disbelief, "Ah! It's the city lord!"
"City Lord?!" The exclamation came and went, "You said this person is the City Lord?!!"
Lu Bao took a closer look, and finally confirmed that it was the city lord, so he ran down to pick him up: "City lord?! Every day is like three years, and you are more eye-catching every day than the day before. My admiration for you is like Your beauty is as endless as ever, ah! the castellan—”
Gui Chengmei, who walked out from behind Lu Bao, covered Lu Bao's mouth with a slap, coughed lightly, and asked with a blushing face, "...City Lord, why are you looking good again, do you have a secret recipe?"
Mu Xishan said, "Did you forget that our product this time has a 'mask'?"
Gui Chengmei covered her mouth, "The effect is so miraculous?!"
After Mu Xishan nodded, he didn't want to say more, got into the car, the driver started the car, and the three cars headed to Panlong Base.Gui Chengmei, who originally put the product in the box, directly held the mask in her hand. As a woman who loves beauty, she couldn't wait to tear it up and use it immediately. "City Master, do you want to sell all these products at the exchange meeting?"
Mu Xishan saw Gui Chengmei's thoughts, took a copy from Gui Chengmei's hand, tore open the package, "Take it and use it."
Gui Chengmei took it with a smile on her face, regardless of her image, she took out drinking water and poured it on her face, then opened the cactus bag inside and took out the mask, and waited for her to stick the soft mask on her face, pressing the corners well , suddenly heard Mu Xishan say:
"One piece sells for ten crystal coins, and I will have someone deduct it from your salary."
Gui Chengmei, who was wearing a mask, froze when she heard this!Ten crystal coins!Her salary for several months!At this time, I heard Mu Xishan say slowly: "However, local residents have corresponding discounts according to their moral values, the lowest is [-]% off, and the highest is [-]% off." Although Gui Chengmei is still worried, she feels better. That's right, looking at Mu Xishan's face that is completely opposite to the past, he is so cruel, Jingbi will be Jingbi!Anyway, it has been decades in a hurry, what a pity to die in one go!
The car drove safely all the way to the Panlong base. It was almost noon, and people were coming and going at the entrance of the slope. Vehicles and people from various small and medium-sized bases were crowded at the entrance to enter the city.
The cars of base s lined up low-key in the convoy. Due to the large number of vehicles from different bases, the distance between the cars and the cars moved forward slowly. Finally, when the base s entered the city, a small car suddenly came out of the gap in front of it. The driver hurriedly braked, the front of the S Base's car brushed against the rear of the opponent's car, and hit a piece, a tall and burly young man jumped out of the car and yelled, "How do you drive! Do you know how much my car costs? Can you afford to pay for the damage?"
"The queue jumper is so arrogant!" Lu Bao didn't see the man's face clearly, and immediately got out of the car angrily, ready to quarrel.
Then a limp and cute boy walked out of the car, grabbed the young man and said, "This is the car from the city lord's wife's base, don't make trouble!"
The young man was still puzzled and said: "How about the wife of the city owner?! Can the wife of the city owner's base be hit by a car without compensation?"
Mu Xishan turned to Gui Chengmei, "Who are those two?"
Gui Chengmei identified it carefully, and explained: "The burly one is Fu Yingjun, and the smaller one is Fu Baobao. Both of them are from the Fu family, the cousin of Fu Jinglan, the successor of the Fu family... Panlong Base was originally a Jiang and Fu, two brothers of the opposite sex, established it together, and they had a good relationship in the early years, but later on they struggled for power and position, and gradually became incompatible.”
Lu Bao, who got off the car, met the young man, recognized the identities of the two, and his tone softened instantly.At this time, the car window was rolled down again, and the woman sitting in the car slowly revealed her face. She was the most beautiful person Mu Xishan had ever seen since she came to this era. She is not brilliant in the middle school, but she can gain favor by relying on her temperament.The woman's bright eyes glanced at Fu Yingjun, and she whispered softly: "We were the ones who jumped in the queue first, and we didn't blame others when we crashed the car. Mr. Fu, don't embarrass others like this."
"Miss Su Man is so sensible!" This time without asking Gui Chengmei, the exclamation of others revealed the identity of this person.
In the past, Jiang Qi had no idea about "Eternal Companion" when he heard about it, and he didn't find anything special after he succeeded.Seeing that it was getting late, the witnesses were asked to register as soon as possible, and the personal information of the two changed from "widowed" and "single" to "married".
A group of people walked out of the office, and the busy street made room for them. Jiang Qi led the way, Jiang Rong followed to talk, and Mu Xishan followed in an unusually silent manner. Jiang Qi felt too intense attention, and listened keenly. I heard the whispers from the passers-by, "What's going on... I seem to see tears in the eyes of the 'Madam of the City Lord'. Is she crying with joy, or does she not want to marry?"
Jiang Qi turned his head, and then his eyes froze——
Under the street lamps, Mu Xishan's dark green eyes shone like a blue lake, with a kind of confusion, mixed with inquiry, and a little unknowable emotion.
And those unknowables moved Jiang Qi's heart slightly, and inexplicable emotions arose in an instant.When the evening wind came, the wind and sand blew up all over the sky, and Jiang Qi's cloak also rolled away from the ground.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Jiang Qi suddenly raised his cloak and wrapped Mu Xishan into his arms. The natural curtain formed by the cloak instantly blocked the sight of passers-by, and also blocked those discussions.
Mu Xishan stared at Jiang Qi, felt a little air flow in his blurred eyes, which was blown by Jiang Qi, and then the liquid accumulated in the eye sockets gushed out.
"... You got sand in your eyes."
Jiang Qi lowered his voice, said so with a serious expression, opened his mouth to bite off the rough glove on the other hand, and wiped away the tears on Mu Xishan's face with calloused fingers.In the small space, the breathing of the two was close at hand. Jiang Qi lowered his head and looked at Muxi Mountain, which was not much lower than him. The expression on the other party's face was still frozen.
Jiang Qi pursed his lips, unable to explain the impulsiveness from that moment to the present, and moved his lips to say something suddenly, but Mu Xishan suddenly grabbed his hand that was about to put on the glove, and his eyes were wrapped around the butterfly mark on his finger.
Contrary to Mu Xishan's expression, it was so slight that it seemed to be in a dream, and it seemed to be so cautious that it could be easily pierced.
"Si...Simon...?"
Hearing an unfamiliar name that seemed to belong to a man, Jiang Qi's heart was slightly blocked, and the original question was choked back into his throat. He raised his head, his face's expression sank, and he frowned, looking down at Muxi Mountain with a high-ranking gaze. Said: "No matter who you still miss in your heart... But I hope you can remember that now we are legal partners, and I don't accept any betrayal!"
After speaking, Jiang Qi put on the glove with one hand, retracted the arm supporting the cloak, turned around and strode away without looking back.
"Eh?!!" Jiang Rongxian was shocked by the "two-person world" of his unfriendly elder brother. The shock didn't last long, when he saw his elder brother change his face and leave. He looked back at Mu Xishan standing there with a cold face, and waved his hand to send the adjutant to deal with it. , turned around and chased after his brother, Jiang Rong's voice could be heard from a distance: "Brother! Where are you going if you don't go back to the City Lord's Mansion at night?!"
The adjutant scratched his head, looked at the wife of the city lord who was left alone by her husband after she just got married, and said awkwardly: "Ah... I will take you back to the mansion to rest first."
Mu Xishan looked back at the direction where Jiang Qi left, restrained his emotions, nodded and followed the adjutant... He was sure that no matter why the two could form soul mates, Jiang Qi was not Simon.This is just another complete stranger to Mu Xishan, a person who has nothing to do with him, whether angry or otherwise - an annoying person!
So Mu Xishan settled down, didn't bother about Jiang Qi's change of face, and spent the night at the Panlong base.
Before dawn, Mu Xishan got up from the bed and prepared to return to base S.The maid who had been notified last night was already waiting outside the door early, and after serving Mu Xishan to wash, she sent Mu Xishan out.Outside the yard, stood a tall figure, just a shadow in the darkness.
Mu Xishan approached slowly, and was slightly surprised to recognize this person.Jiang Qi looked back at Mu Xishan earnestly, then turned his head to lead the way. Mu Xishan looked at Jiang Qi's back and said:
"You are busy with government affairs, so you don't need to get up early to see me off."
Jiang Qi said in an emotionless voice: "When your partner travels, your husband sees you off...it's just a responsibility, you don't have to think about it."
Mu Xishan looked up at Jiang Qi's taut lines from cheekbones to chin, and twitched the corners of his mouth... He said it as if he was being affectionate, but he was still just as annoying. Mu Xishan withdrew his gaze, turned cold, and stopped talking to Jiang Qi.
The two walked out of the house maintaining a stiff atmosphere.
The maid who followed behind did not breathe a sigh of relief until Mu Xishan's car left. Looking at the city lord's stiff face early in the morning, she murmured in her heart: Are these two lovers or enemies?No matter how inadvertent the exchange of words, the change of eyes, there is a feeling of gunpowder everywhere.
The two bases are far apart, starting before dawn, it is estimated that they will arrive at the S base near noon.
On the way of driving in Muxi Mountain, the latest developments of the two of them spread all over the country again.
Breaking news [-]: "China's No. [-] Beautiful Man and Former No. [-] Ugly Man tied the knot, and the wedding will be held in two months!" "
Breaking news [-]: "The "highest supernatural activity" in history has encountered the "average activity", and various experts predict the childbirth situation! "
Breaking news [-]: "After half a century, the "eternal partner" reappears, deciphering the whole process of their love! "
Breaking news [-]: "Suman is defeated and the ugly man turns over, and the Northern Conference is expected to fight on the same stage!" "
When the newspaper was freshly out, Jiang Rong winked and discussed it with others. After the morning meeting was over, he squeezed in front of Jiang Qi who was closing the documents, spread out the front page of the newspaper, and pointed at the news four times with a narrow expression. , "Brother, look!"
Others also came over to say congratulations, "Hey, I also read the morning newspaper, congratulations to the city lord!"
"The people are crazy about it." Another person interjected, "There are only three pairs of couples who have formed an 'eternal contract' in history. Two couples who came from the president of the trade union and vigorously promoted classization... The residents said that no matter good or bad, each couple has done a big thing, and now it is finally our turn at the Panlong Base! Everyone hugged a lot Great expectations!"
"It's just a coincidence." Jiang Qi didn't think there was any necessary relationship between personal achievement and the contract.
Fu Jinglan sat on the sidelines and watched, her plump eyelashes drooping slightly, and her feminine face was unpredictable. She was born in a family that was opposed to Jiang Rong in the base. Even though he had little interest in power, he was unwilling to watch Jiang Qi pass too moist.
Jiang Qi happened to see the third piece of news at this time, and asked the secretary, "Is there Suman among the auditors of the Northern Conference?"
The secretary nodded, and Jiang Qi threw the newspaper into the secretary's hands, and said in a cold tone: "Reject Su Man's qualification for hearing." He did not choose a partner for the purpose of adding conversational resources to others.
Although Su Man's pursuit of Jiang Qi was not as obvious as Sun Feifei's, everyone knew it. Seeing Jiang Qi's disregard for human feelings, the secretary was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded.On the contrary, Jiang Rong immediately objected: "Oh, why don't you let Su Man come over? After all, she is a lively and fragrant beauty, so what's the point of coming here? Your refusal is not to slap Su Man in the face! Besides, even if she doesn't listen to the trial You can also come here privately, is it possible that you are still blocking the city gate and not letting you in?"
Jiang Qi turned a deaf ear to it.At this moment, the two brothers didn't notice that Fu Jinglan left his seat and followed the secretary.
On the other side, Mu Xishan, who arrived at the S base, also attended the delayed morning meeting after lunch.
In the conference room, Jiang Feng first introduced the process of the North Conference: "The conference lasted for three days in total. The first day was a formal meeting, which discussed the affairs of the North next month, and the second day was a friendship exchange meeting. Make transactions and discuss cooperation. The last day is to review the development of each base and evaluate the level up and down. The exhibits on the second day will also affect the level of the base, and the materials obtained by different levels will be different."
Mu Xishan took the information from Lu Bao and quickly read it.
There are four levels of bases, from high to low as A, B, C, and D.Evaluation reference conditions include base area, output value, number of residents, ratio of scattered superhumans to residents, number of civil servants, military strength, ratio of superhumans enlisted, etc... Mu Xishan turned to the last page of the clip and saw the s base The ratings for Phase [-] are:
Ding!
Mu Xishan asked puzzledly, "What if you drop out of the 'D' level?"
Lu Bao said with a sad expression: "The zero-level base will be declared bankrupt by the Panlong Base, take back the leadership of the city owner, and reassign the management of the acting city owner. If the situation improves, a new city owner will be selected from the original base. If the situation cannot be improved, it will be disbanded. The base, the original base's population and supplies are distributed to other bases nearby... When the former city lord was in power, we were always on the verge of bankruptcy."
Mu Xishan nodded to show that he knew, and Gui Chengmei said: "The people with supernatural powers have made up for it, and the population lost during the night raids has also recovered to more than [-] because of the continuous addition of new people to the base. The funds have already been relieved, and the area of expansion has also been recorded in According to the review data, the base is not in danger of being downgraded this time, the only problem is that our base does not have any products that can be sold to participate in the exchange conference."
"How did the former city lord solve it?"
After Mu Xishan asked, everyone present became silent, and there was embarrassment in the silence. Finally, Lu Bao, who had accompanied the meeting many times, whispered: "The former city owner was afraid of losing face, so he pretended to be sick every exchange meeting, so the other bases kept laughing at us. I got the 'exchange meeting must have a headache and brain fever syndrome'..."
From Lu Bao's unfinished tone, Mu Xishan could tell that this was not such a pleasant experience.
Pan Yi went out to collect flower materials yesterday and hadn't returned to the city yet. Mu Xishan inquired about the construction progress of Gaoshen's dwarf residence, and then announced the end of the meeting. He stood up and said, "As for the exchange of goods... I will find a way." The mutant silkworm was at this time It has pupated, and the production of glowstone should be almost done.
Jiang Feng knew exactly what Mu Xishan was thinking, so he called Zuo Qi to inform him, and then drove Mu Xishan to the dwarf cave in the quarantine area.
The two stepped out of the car, Zuo Qi waved to them at the entrance of the cave, and after they entered the cave, Zuo Qi waved away the dwarves who were about to come to say hello, and explained the business to Mu Xishan.
Today happened to be the day when a new batch of experimental fluorescent stones were unsealed, because there was still some time before leaving the seal, Zuo Qi took the two of them to the place where the mutated silkworms were stored, and told the situation on the way, "Yesterday, we have followed the The correct method is to take out hundreds of silkworm chrysalis and save them, and the rest are waiting for the moths to be raised again, and the silk is also being processed."
Zuo Qi led the two of them into a ventilated hole at a high place. There were countless small water tanks and the dwarf sitting behind the tanks.
There are ropes hanging in the distance, and strands of silver-white silk threads hang down from them.Under the rope stood a dwarf woman with quick hands and feet, neatly hanging the wet and heavy silk on the rope to dry, then sat back in front of an empty water tank, picked up the kettle, poured hot water into the cold water tank, When the water temperature is right, take out the silkworm cocoons the size of a fist from the grass pot next to them and put them in the tank, and stir them once in a while while soaking.
Zuo Qi led the two of them to go in, but Mu Xishan took a step back and returned to the outside of the cave, "Don't disturb them."
At this time, the silkworm cocoon in the water tank of the dwarf woman was swollen. The woman took out tweezers from the toolbox, reached into the water and fiddled with the palm-sized silkworm cocoon, squinted her eyes to find the silk head, pulled it out and wound it on the wooden wheel. Start turning the wooden wheel to draw silk. The mutated silkworm silk is thousands or even nearly [-] meters long from head to tail. Although skillful dwarves can make small tools, the cost of a wooden wheel is not high, and you need to hold the handle to turn it manually. .
Mu Xishan shifted his gaze, and saw these powerful dwarves pressing their shoulders and moving their hands and feet from time to time. Many of them had their fingers red and swollen, and their clothes and hair were soaked with sweat.
"Let's go." Mu Xishan turned and left first.
Zuo Qi followed closely, thinking that the unprofessionalism of the dwarves caused Mu Xishan's displeasure, so he heard Mu Xishan say in front of him: "Tomorrow, you ask the working dwarf to bring his household registration to Qian Sheng, and register for extra moral points."
Although Zuo Qi didn't understand the value of morality, but being able to help the city lord, and even adding a few more strokes to the household registration, made him happy and agreed again and again.
When a few people went down, they bumped into the dwarf who brought hot water to the spinning work.
The dwarf was holding a boiling kettle, and when he saw the city lord's face, he almost splashed the water on himself in surprise. After being reprimanded by Zuo Qi, he lifted the pot to get out of the way, and watched Zuo Qi lead the two of them. When I went down, I suddenly thought of something and shouted: "Patriarch! I saw the group of people who studied the mutant fireflies go into the experiment hole just now. It should be time for Kaifeng. Go over and have a look!"
Zuo Qi led the two of them to another cave, which was already full of dwarves.
A voice shouted, "Open!" Then several dwarfs holding the iron ball unscrewed the iron ball at the same time, and the light was bright, and the exclamation and admiration came and went, and the people who were close could hardly open their eyes. The transparent balls, just a few experimental objects, illuminated the dark cave like daytime, and the dwarves jumped up excitedly, shouting:
"Success!"
Zuo Qi stood up and interrupted the excited dwarves, "Show it to the city lord first."
The person in charge of the experiment just noticed Mu Xishan, and hurried over and handed out something with both hands. Mu Xishan took it and looked at it carefully. The spherical shape was round, and there was a touch of gray in the transparent warm yellow resin, and there was a small black dot in the middle, which looked like Similar to the burning candle wick, the gray color is actually the trace left by the mutated firefly melting into the resin, and the black dot is the animal core that the firefly cannot fuse.
Mu Xishan nodded with satisfaction and asked who the producer was.
Zuo Ban pointed to the dwarf who was handing the things and said, "This is a mountain village, mainly researching, and the rest are laymen."
Mu Xishan reminded Zuo Banner to take this group of people to register for moral points, and brought up the substantive topic: "In the future, the base will provide materials, and you will make them. The base will give you one-tenth of the income from the finished product as your reward."
The dwarves hurriedly shook their heads like rattles, Zuo Banner said: "City Lord, you have done so many things for us, and we are willing to do things for you. Don't you make us feel ashamed by giving money?!"
"I still need you to help me with a lot of things. Research requires funds, and the base cannot let you work for nothing. There is no need to argue about this." Mu Xishan put down this topic, turned the fluorescent stone in his hand, and thought, Said to Yamamura: "I think this still needs a lifting frame, or a hanging ring. By the way, how long does it take to make this, and can it be mass-produced?"
Because of the direct dialogue with the city lord, the mountain village was a little nervous, and he said frivolously: "Now that the formula ratio is clear, it can be made in one or one day, that is, the finished product will be a little worse."
Mu Xishan nodded, and returned the fluorescent stone to the mountain village, "Within three days, you can make the handmade fluorescent stone and the bottom bracket into exquisite ornaments, and for batches, you only need to configure a small hanging ring." Quality tiered sales.
Yamamura nodded in assurance.
Zuo Qi sent the two of them out, and by the way, brought the flower materials that Mu Xishan left in the isolation area for them to deal with last time. When they passed by the open space in the center of the cave, dozens of dwarves were packing their luggage and preparing to go out.
Mu Xishan looked at it strangely, and Jiang Feng next to him explained: "Since the dwarves entered the city, there have been a lot of novel gadgets in the base. They set off at this time and arrived at the base almost in the evening, just in time for the night market. Some came back late." Yes, I will simply stay overnight at the base."
Mu Xishan wondered, "Isn't the dwelling place of the dwarves not yet built?"
The corners of Jiang Feng's always tensed mouth slightly raised, "They are all very nice, and they have cultivated a deep friendship with many residents of the base, which can be borrowed. Before, there were residents who came to the quarantine area to hunt and stayed in the dwarf's cave."
Thinking that Base S has accepted dwarfs well, Mu Xishan felt relieved, but apart from Base S, the whole society has always harbored deep-rooted prejudice against dwarves.
At this time, the two passed by a dwarf girl. Mu Xishan inadvertently saw a transparent bag filled with thin paper in the shape of a human face, which was wet, soaked in liquid, and petals were still floating.
"what is this?"
As soon as Mu Xishan made a sound, the dwarf girl who was tidying things up was startled, and she subconsciously explained: "I, I, I didn't steal the flowers, I picked these myself."
Mu Xishan was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what the dwarf girl meant, Jiang Feng looked at the petals, then at the flower material that Zuo Banner had processed behind him, and calmed down the frightened little girl before rushing to Mu Xishan and said: " ...It looks like a mask, something for girls."
Seeing that the two of them didn't mean to blame her, the girl clattered and explained: "My family has several family beauty recipes. I like to study this since I was a child. Last time, the patriarch entrusted me with the task of handling flowers. Well, after I finished processing, I was a little curious about the effect of these flowers, so I ran to the isolation area to pick some, um, only a small one... I don’t know how to pick the others, and I almost got hurt every time. After that, I I added the ones I found into the formula experiment, and the beauty effect is very good, and it is sold like crazy in the night market!"
Mu Xishan had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the miraculous detoxification effect of mutated silkworms, and later generations would also use silk to make beauty products.Mu Xishan took out a lot of processed materials from Zuo Qi, and asked Zuo Qi to fetch some silkworm cocoons. When Zuo Qi came back, he handed the things to the little girl, saying:
"You try to make these things into a 'mask', the effect may be better."
The little girl was seriously entrusted by the city lord, but she was a little shy, "Ah, I just did it randomly... Let me try."
Mu Xishan showed a gentle expression, "Don't feel pressured, just try it... But, once the experiment is successful, please tell me immediately, before that, don't sell it arbitrarily."
Finally, Mu Xishan asked the little girl's name, and knowing her name was "Xiangori", he took the remaining flowers and Jiang Feng to bid farewell to the dwarfs and returned to the base.
On the second day, Zuo Banner led the dwarves to register their moral values. Although everyone did not pay much attention to moral values at this time, this situation was completely overturned in the afternoon!
The adjutant in charge of excavating deep underground water sources, who has had a relationship with Muxi Mountain several times, is surnamed Hou.Adjutant Hou personally visited the City Lord's Mansion and reported to Mu Xishan: "Your Excellency, the water outlet leading from the fault zone to the ground has already released water. Now you can find someone to fetch water, and you can also arrange for someone to build a water pipeline."
After the news spread from the City Lord's Mansion, the entire S base became a sensation!
While everyone was still discussing whether the water price was much higher than domestic water, Mu Xishan asked Lu Bao to post an official announcement.
People who read newspapers in the small square gathered behind Lu Bao. When they saw the content posted, the residents all froze, then rubbed their eyes, and froze again!In the crowd of onlookers, there were a few supernatural beings and disabled people, surrounded by a young man with thick eyebrows, standing outside to watch the announcement.
"...the deep underground water source has come out, from now on—" A crippled man with supernatural abilities can't help growing his mouth while reading the announcement, "All local residents with positive moral values can buy it, and According to the moral value, the purchase price is as follows..." The supernatural person read it quickly, and he could put down two fists in his mouth, "The moral value is higher than [-], and he can still receive a liter of deep water for free every day? It's five Between one hundred and one hundred, you can also buy a certain amount per person at a price lower than that of domestic water! How could such a good thing happen!!!”
The leader with thick eyebrows pinched the mouth of the supernatural being who was about to crack, and sighed: "It seems that we have chosen the right place."
The supernatural person widened his eyes, turned his head and looked at the announcement several more times, and when he turned his head, the boss had already walked a certain distance with the other people, and hurriedly followed, "Boss, where are you going?!"
"Go and register. The base needs to build water pipes now. A day of free service will give you a little bit of moral value." When they came to the Ministry of Urban Construction, they found that the office hall was already crowded with people. Can't squeeze in.Even the hawkers in other streets dragged their stalls to register, and bags of goods were piled up beside the road.Several people were dumbfounded. The young man with thick eyebrows leaned against the wall and sighed, "...wait."
The day before the Northern Conference, Shancun delivered the fluorescent stones that were prepared as required early in the morning.
At the morning meeting, Mu Xishan took out the finished product from the box, and the dazzling light instantly amazed the audience. After Mu Xishan explained that "fluorescent stone" can supplement the sunlight and continue to shine, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Gui Chengmei who was going to accompany him couldn't put it down. Received it, looked at the workmanship, and squinted the eyes pierced by the light to observe the luminous body, amazed: "This is incredible! It's a miracle!"
After being circulated by everyone, it was recorded that the number carried was one hundred, thirty high-quality goods, and seventy ordinary goods.
When confirming the accompanying list, Mu Xishan suddenly suggested: "Bring the inventor of the fluorescent stone!"
Gui Chengmei was stunned, "...This is a bit inappropriate, City Master, although our base is getting along well with the dwarfs, but other bases still have some prejudices, it's better to wait until they understand these dwarfs—"
"Wait!" A flash of inspiration flashed in Mu Xishan's mind... How about a dwarf?The virtues of a dwarf are character and creativity. Character needs long-term contact, and creativity needs commodities as a carrier. With the spread of commodities, reputation will be spread.Mu Xishan has made a decision, "The products for this conference will be named after 'Mountain Village'."
"Isn't Shancun the one who researched the fluorescent stone?" Gui Chengmei also realized after finishing speaking, "Shancun! Yes, 'Shancun Brand Fluorescent Stone', are you trying to create momentum for the dwarves?"
Jiang Feng frowned, "But this will weaken your achievements in this matter."
At this time, the meeting was approaching noon, and Mu Xishan began to feel tired, and the raging sleepiness became more and more intense, making him drowsy. Mu Xishan looked at the calendar on the wall, and then remembered that he came here today In the second seven days, he shook his head and managed to pull himself together and said:
"Come here, the meeting is over."
Jiang Feng saw Mu Xishan's discomfort and didn't argue any more.After the others left, Mu Xishan stood up from his seat. Jiang Feng saw that his hands and feet were weak, and walked behind Mu Xishan silently, holding Mu Xishan's shoulders and walking out.
Mu Xishan returned to the City Lord's Mansion, went to bed without even eating lunch, Jiang Feng covered Mu Xishan with a thin quilt, closed the door and went out, and asked Zhu Er Mu Xishan's recent health status, whether he stayed up late or was overworked.
Zhu'er knew Jiang Feng's loyalty, thought it over carefully, and finally said uncertainly, "No, most of the candles in the castellan's house were extinguished on time, and there were not many cases of staying up late... I remember that on this day a week ago, the castellan also suddenly Feeling sleepy, after waking up, let me prepare the tools for taking a bath. Before that, the city lord was very water-saving, but since then, I have insisted on taking a bath every day... Ah, let’s not talk about it, I’ll let someone boil the water, and the city lord will wait It must be used when you wake up."
Jiang Feng didn't hear anything unusual. He watched Zhu'er leave while he stood guard at the door. While waiting, Zhu'er came over and said that a dwarf girl was visiting with a mask, and asked if he wanted to wake up the city lord.
Jiang Feng still remembered that Mu Xishan told a little girl to study something in the dwarf cave last time, "I'll go and have a look."
Not long after Jiang Feng left, Mu Xishan woke up and asked Zhu'er to prepare bath tools.After Jiang Feng asked the dwarf girl, on the way back he heard that Mu Xishan was taking a bath, so he took the dwarf girl and waited in the reception room next to him. After a while, he heard footsteps approaching, Jiang Feng looked up at the door, and stopped instantly——
The person who came in had long black hair that was different from others, and it stuck to the back smoothly, with a little moisture. Mu Xishan's skin was smooth and delicate, not as rough as before, and his facial features were slightly familiar and strange, as if something happened Subtle changes, the eyebrows are more tidy, the eyelashes are more dense, the nose is slightly raised, the lips are fresh and tender, and the body line wrapped in clothes is more full of curvature.
Finally, there are those eyes that are always beautiful, greener in color and cold in gaze.
Zhu'er followed behind, wearing new clothes and wet hair that hadn't been wiped dry. She was dumbfounded when she saw Jiang Feng, and teased: "Mr. Jiang Jun... Pay attention to your expression." Although he When I went in to pack the bathing tools just now, I fell into the tub because I was too surprised.
"How did you become like this..." Jiang Feng said slightly at a loss.
Seeing that Mu Xishan didn't intend to repeat the explanation, Zhuer replied, "The Santo said it was a formula that could remove the scars and gradually restore his appearance... I never thought the Santo was so good-looking!"
Jiang Feng heard that Mu Xishan had lied to Zhu'er, so he knew that he had no intention of explaining, so he didn't ask, and introduced to Mu Xishan the mask in the dwarf girl's hand.Muxishan first asked about the effect, which was detoxification and beauty. Kaori raised her face and said, "I tried it on my own face, and the effect is more amazing than all the masks I have made! Although I don't like such smooth wrinkles, But your girls sure like it!"
Mu Xishan asked about the quantity again, and after learning that several hundred pieces had been successfully soaked, he nodded and said, "...In this case, this mask should be called 'Xianori Mask'."
Kaori let out a small exclamation, unexpectedly naming it after her own name, Mu Xishan turned around and arranged for Jiang Feng to make the packaging bag, "Find some skillful dwarves and write down the efficacy, date, and production method on the packaging. , Take it to the exchange meeting tomorrow as a trial product."
On the day of participating in the North Conference, in order not to delay the afternoon meeting, we had to get up at four o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Feng went out behind Mu Xishan. Since he was not in the accompanying list, he had no choice but to send Mu Xishan to the gathering place at the city gate. The dark city gate was lit with torches, and several carts were parked beside the city gate. Someone leaned out of the window and looked at the license plate to know that the city lord was coming.Although these people got up very early, none of them yawned. They were all full of energy, chatting and laughing. I heard that there were two products guaranteed, and the S base instantly gained confidence. .
Jiang Feng stopped the car and saw Mu Xishan push the door to get out of the car, hesitantly asked: "Do you want to cover it?"
Mu Xishan stepped out of the car and said nonchalantly, "It's not necessary, just to promote new products."
The person on the cart saw a man with an outstanding face get off the city lord's car, and was taken aback for a moment, "Since when did such a good-looking person appear in our base? I think he is even better-looking than Suman..." The sharp-eyed man Seeing the imprint on Mu Xishan's hand, the man exclaimed in disbelief, "Ah! It's the city lord!"
"City Lord?!" The exclamation came and went, "You said this person is the City Lord?!!"
Lu Bao took a closer look, and finally confirmed that it was the city lord, so he ran down to pick him up: "City lord?! Every day is like three years, and you are more eye-catching every day than the day before. My admiration for you is like Your beauty is as endless as ever, ah! the castellan—”
Gui Chengmei, who walked out from behind Lu Bao, covered Lu Bao's mouth with a slap, coughed lightly, and asked with a blushing face, "...City Lord, why are you looking good again, do you have a secret recipe?"
Mu Xishan said, "Did you forget that our product this time has a 'mask'?"
Gui Chengmei covered her mouth, "The effect is so miraculous?!"
After Mu Xishan nodded, he didn't want to say more, got into the car, the driver started the car, and the three cars headed to Panlong Base.Gui Chengmei, who originally put the product in the box, directly held the mask in her hand. As a woman who loves beauty, she couldn't wait to tear it up and use it immediately. "City Master, do you want to sell all these products at the exchange meeting?"
Mu Xishan saw Gui Chengmei's thoughts, took a copy from Gui Chengmei's hand, tore open the package, "Take it and use it."
Gui Chengmei took it with a smile on her face, regardless of her image, she took out drinking water and poured it on her face, then opened the cactus bag inside and took out the mask, and waited for her to stick the soft mask on her face, pressing the corners well , suddenly heard Mu Xishan say:
"One piece sells for ten crystal coins, and I will have someone deduct it from your salary."
Gui Chengmei, who was wearing a mask, froze when she heard this!Ten crystal coins!Her salary for several months!At this time, I heard Mu Xishan say slowly: "However, local residents have corresponding discounts according to their moral values, the lowest is [-]% off, and the highest is [-]% off." Although Gui Chengmei is still worried, she feels better. That's right, looking at Mu Xishan's face that is completely opposite to the past, he is so cruel, Jingbi will be Jingbi!Anyway, it has been decades in a hurry, what a pity to die in one go!
The car drove safely all the way to the Panlong base. It was almost noon, and people were coming and going at the entrance of the slope. Vehicles and people from various small and medium-sized bases were crowded at the entrance to enter the city.
The cars of base s lined up low-key in the convoy. Due to the large number of vehicles from different bases, the distance between the cars and the cars moved forward slowly. Finally, when the base s entered the city, a small car suddenly came out of the gap in front of it. The driver hurriedly braked, the front of the S Base's car brushed against the rear of the opponent's car, and hit a piece, a tall and burly young man jumped out of the car and yelled, "How do you drive! Do you know how much my car costs? Can you afford to pay for the damage?"
"The queue jumper is so arrogant!" Lu Bao didn't see the man's face clearly, and immediately got out of the car angrily, ready to quarrel.
Then a limp and cute boy walked out of the car, grabbed the young man and said, "This is the car from the city lord's wife's base, don't make trouble!"
The young man was still puzzled and said: "How about the wife of the city owner?! Can the wife of the city owner's base be hit by a car without compensation?"
Mu Xishan turned to Gui Chengmei, "Who are those two?"
Gui Chengmei identified it carefully, and explained: "The burly one is Fu Yingjun, and the smaller one is Fu Baobao. Both of them are from the Fu family, the cousin of Fu Jinglan, the successor of the Fu family... Panlong Base was originally a Jiang and Fu, two brothers of the opposite sex, established it together, and they had a good relationship in the early years, but later on they struggled for power and position, and gradually became incompatible.”
Lu Bao, who got off the car, met the young man, recognized the identities of the two, and his tone softened instantly.At this time, the car window was rolled down again, and the woman sitting in the car slowly revealed her face. She was the most beautiful person Mu Xishan had ever seen since she came to this era. She is not brilliant in the middle school, but she can gain favor by relying on her temperament.The woman's bright eyes glanced at Fu Yingjun, and she whispered softly: "We were the ones who jumped in the queue first, and we didn't blame others when we crashed the car. Mr. Fu, don't embarrass others like this."
"Miss Su Man is so sensible!" This time without asking Gui Chengmei, the exclamation of others revealed the identity of this person.
