Chapter 246 Friction
Mu Jinghua's side turned into a CP-shipping conference, while Xu Shu's side was tense.
Some people were not used to Xu Shu keeping them in suspense, so they said, "Master Xu is a nobody, but he has become a great man overnight. Did he ask us to come here just to show off? It's really boring to keep him in suspense like this. It's better for you to speak frankly if you have anything to say."
Xu Shu took a look at the man. He was a very young man, and quite courageous.
He smiled and said, "Since this gentleman has asked, I will not hide it. I have called you here today because I am new here and would like to ask you to help me."
"If you don't have money, just say so." Someone immediately said dissatisfiedly, "I can give you as much as you want. What are you planning to do by trapping us here like this?"
Xu Shu glanced at him and pretended to be innocent: "I would like to express my gratitude to all the gentlemen for their help. What can I think of inviting you all to a feast?"
"Don't pretend." Another person stood up. "The people in the city are ignorant and think you are a messenger sent by the gods. We are not fools and will not listen to you."
Xu Shu nodded in approval: "I don't think I'm a messenger sent by the gods. I just had to resort to this desperate measure due to the situation at the time."
"Xu's strength alone is too limited, so I want your help. I don't want money, I need people, or soldiers."
"You're asking us for soldiers?" The young man who had just spoken couldn't help but ask back, "You have 100,000 Qiao family soldiers to guard. If you don't have the ability to keep them, just say so. What's the point of asking us for soldiers?"
"Of course Xu is the one who bullies the weak and fears the strong." Xu Shu answered frankly.
The young man was speechless for a moment and looked at Xu Shu in shock. The expression on his face was very obvious - how could this guy be so shameless?
The others thought the same thing, but before they could curse out loud, Xu Shu repeated his old trick and called out "Qiao Er".
Be polite before fighting.
Because there are so many soldiers, they can fight without slacking off.
He couldn't handle the 100,000 troops in Qiao Er's hands, so of course he could only make use of them as much as possible while they were still in Yuzhou.
Qiao Er was also willing to cooperate, although he did look down on Xu Shu at the beginning, but things were different now. Not to mention their friendship of fighting on the battlefield together with Xu Shu.
Take the magic weapon in Xu Shu's hand for example. The one who has milk is the mother, and the one who has the sword is the father.
Xu Shu is now closer to him than his biological father, so of course he has to do his best to protect Xu Shu.
He gave Xu Shu face by surrounding the Xiao Mansion tightly. As soon as the shining knife was unsheathed, these noble families shrank their heads and acted like turtles.
So Xu Shu "smoothly" got help from every family.
Including the guards that Xiao Ran did not take away, the original soldiers from Yuzhou City, and the people who were willing to sign up for the army, the total number was nearly 30,000.
These are his private soldiers.
In troubled times, no matter how powerful one person is, he can never match the power of a group of people.
Xu Shu was well aware of this, so he paid great attention to the soldiers he had recruited with great difficulty.
Although he has never been a soldier, he has at least experienced the ups and downs of life in the apocalypse. It is certainly not difficult for him to conquer this group of people with his charm.
But it also requires hard work. During this period, Xu Shu went to the barracks every day to supervise the renovation and construction of the barracks, supervise and observe the training of the soldiers, and also worry about the reconstruction of Yuzhou City and be on guard against the aristocratic families doing things secretly.
I was so busy that I naturally neglected Mu Jinghua a little.
This kind of neglect was not psychological. After all, he would miss Mu Jinghua if he didn't see her for a day, so he would always find time to chat with her when he had some free time.
But the night's clinginess is inevitably castrated.
Because the barracks had to get up before dawn for training every day, although Xu Shu asked Qiao Er for help, it was only temporary help and he had to understand it himself, so he had to get up before dawn every day.
I got up too early and most of my energy was used up by exercise, so of course I had no energy to think about at night.
But Xu Shu lost interest, and Mu Jinghua was very depressed.
It can't be said that he has tasted the taste of bamboo shoots, after all, Xu Shu's thing is really a bit difficult for him, and Xu Shu's energy is always too good. Every time in the later stage, Mu Jinghua basically faints.
What intoxicated him was the feeling of skin contact with Xu Shu. The feeling of being one with him from the bottom of his heart was so safe that it drove him crazy.
This is not the first time Mu Jinghua has hinted at Xu Shu.
But Xu Shu's meaning was also very clear: "I have something to do tomorrow, let's wait for a while."
After a while, after a while...
Mu Jinghua felt that each day passed like a year.
But waiting is not meaningless. Today, Xu Shi came to report on his work. After nearly a month of training, the newly recruited blacksmiths are basically capable of engaging in production work independently.
The number of people Jiang Yu helped to send in far exceeded Xu Shu's expectations, so even though all employees were basically in training last month, the output was still satisfactory.
There were nearly a thousand qualified products. Xu Shu kept twenty for his own use and gave the rest to Qiao Er.
Qiao Er has been staying in Yuzhou this month. On the one hand, he is waiting for Xu Shu's first batch of goods, and on the other hand, he is persuading Mu Jinghua and Qiao Wan to return to Beijing with him.
It is certainly unrealistic to capture him back by force. Even if he can ignore Xu Shu's current power in Yuzhou City, he cannot give up the good stuff in Xu Shu's hands.
The result of his kind persuasion was that neither Mu Jinghua nor Qiao Wan was willing to go back to Beijing with him.
Qiao Er was so worried that he couldn't sleep every night, so Xu Shu gave him an idea and told him to use the swords in his hands to make up for his mistakes.
After listening to Xu Shu's analysis, Qiao Er felt relieved and was finally able to sleep at night.
Now that he had received the goods, inspected the quality, and confirmed that there was no difference from the first batch he got, he immediately prepared to return to Beijing.
When Xu Shu heard that he was leaving, considering that he had been helping him train the troops, he suggested giving the soldiers a day off.
Firstly, it was to see Qiao Er off, and secondly, it was to hold a summary meeting to review the results of the past month and to further plan the next tasks.
As soon as Mu Jinghua heard Xu Shu's arrangements, he knew that his chance had come.
The holidays are scheduled for the afternoon of that day and the morning of the next day.
Mu Jinghua took a bath very carefully in the morning and asked the best maid in the Xiao mansion to dress him up.
The maid was lively and clever. While combing his hair, she praised him: "My dear, your hair is so beautiful, so black and shiny."
Mu Jinghua hummed, thinking of how he used to be, and couldn't help asking the maid, "Do you have someone you like?"
The maid's ears instantly turned red: "In reply to your question, sir, I am already married, and my husband is in the military camp."
"Is he nice to you?"
The maid nodded shyly, then shook her head: "We are just ordinary people, we cannot compare to how Master Xu treats you."
Hearing her say this, Mu Jinghua couldn't help but touch his hair: "People are very strange. If you were still a weed, someone would say you were incredibly beautiful. After hearing it several times every day, you actually became what he said."
“I may not be beautiful, but if he thinks I am beautiful, then I will be beautiful.”
