Chapter 539 Watering Plum Blossoms (2)

Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but say, "If I plead for You Yinwei, I wonder if it will work for Miss Jin."

Jin Lier raised her eyelids, glanced at him with a soft and sharp gaze, and asked, "Do you want to plead for him?"

Chu Xiaomu nodded.

"why?"

"Captain You Yin is a brave and heroic man, a rare good man indeed."

"In my opinion, it's just a reckless act, nothing serious."

Chu Xiaomu smiled.

"He and you have no relationship, but we just met once at Xiaotu Mountain. Just for this, you are willing to offend me and plead for him?"

"A real man is loyal to his friends, not just to each other."

Jin Lier raised her glass again, staring at Chu Xiaomu with her bright eyes, and said, "What a great saying, 'Just be loyal to each other'. I toast to you with this glass!"

The two men touched their cups and drank them all in one gulp.

"But this is far from enough." Jin Lier said lightly, still not eating the food.

Chu Xiaomu was speechless, thinking that his identity was worth a few dollars, why could Jin Lier not follow the laws of Jinyang City and give You Ganzhan a break? In order to hide his embarrassment, he simply ate a few bites of food.

He asked, "Excuse me, young master, what is enough?"

Jin Lier said: "The Red Soldiers are forcing the pass. If you can drive them away and make such a great contribution, then come and beg me, and maybe I will listen to you."

Chu Xiaomu was at a loss for words and thought to himself, if I had such great ability, why would I come to your Jinyang City to ask for help?

Jin Lier sighed and continued, "Even a powerful figure like General Bi Ye couldn't deal with the Red Soldiers, so who in the Cangmu Kingdom could do it?"

Chu Xiaomu became worried whenever she thought about Bicheng. She had a strong urge to tell Jinyang City the real purpose of her visit and scold her, but she finally held back.

He asked, "Ms. Jin, you called me over here so late at night just to gossip about this?"

Jin Lier smiled and said, "Of course not. I called you here for a reason."

"What's your intention?" Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but feel wary.

"Brother Lin has won three battles in a row. Now he is famous in Jinyang City. I am afraid that half of the people in the city are asking about your background. The people from the Golden Sword Sect are asking about you, the people from General Xuan are asking about you, and I, Jin Lier, am also asking about you."

"My last name is Lin and my given name is Yuan. I am from Qingyuan. I made that clear during the competition. What else do you want to know?"

Jin Lier smiled but said nothing.

Chu Xiaomu thought that He Cang could tell that he was not from Qingyuan because he was from Qingyuan. Do you also doubt my true identity? He cried out secretly, thinking that Jin Li'er was extremely smart and must have seen some flaws.

Jin Lier said, "Of course there are other reasons. Brother Lin is very powerful and defeated Shi Yuantai from the Golden Sword Sect and Zhou Tenghu under General Xuan. They must be very curious about who you are and which side you are on, so they will also invite you to drink and eat. So I got there first to avoid them nagging you."

Chu Xiaomu suddenly realized and thought to himself, no wonder you called me over so late at night, it turned out you were afraid that Jindaomen and Xuanying would take me over. He felt very regretful and thought that he could have seen Xuanying, but missed it.

But you, Jin Lier, asked me to come over so late to drink with you, so you must have the intention of winning me over, so I asked, "Young Master Jin, do you want me to enter your Yunying Palace?"

Jin Lier asked with a smile: "Are you willing to come over?"

Chu Xiaomu hesitated and did not answer.

But Jin Lier said, "I won't invite you until I know your background. But I won't let the Golden Sword Sect invite you either."

Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, I knew you were very scheming, but I didn't guess your real intention of inviting me over for a drink.

Jin Lier continued, "Brother Lin didn't show up in the days before the competition, but suddenly showed up at the last minute. I can't figure this out, and you seem determined to win. Can you tell me the reason?"

Chu Xiaomu didn't dare to tell his real purpose of just wanting to see Xuanying, so he said, "Who wouldn't want to be such a high official as Jin Wei? I'm just an ordinary person, so of course I want to try my luck."

Jin Lier shook her head to express her disbelief, but did not continue to ask.

The two of them ate and chatted until it was already mid-hour.

It was early spring, and although the weather was not too cold, it was still a little chilly in the empty Plum-Watering Pavilion at night. As soon as Jin Li'er's attendants waited for the wine and food to cool down, they took them away and replaced them with fresh dishes.

Servants came and went, changing at least seventeen or eighteen dishes, and the small table was always full.

Moreover, these dishes were all cooked in a unique style, and each one was very delicate, which not only satisfied Chu Xiaomu's tongue, but also his eyes. He was in his prime and had a huge appetite, so he ate a lot. Many dishes were particularly to his liking, and he wanted to eat more, but he was taken away by Jin Li'er's attendants after just a few bites, which made him feel very sorry. However, he didn't dare to say such embarrassing words, so as not to make people laugh.

Two more jugs of wine were served. Although Chu Xiaomu's strength was at full blast, he was still a little tipsy after drinking too much.

Not long after, another man who looked like a servant came in and handed a note to Jin Li'er. Jin Li'er opened it and read it, then folded the note and placed it under the wine pot on the small table.

Then he toasted again and said, "Brother Lin, let me congratulate you first."

Chu Xiaomu was stunned and asked, "Congratulations to me for what?"

"There is news that General Xuan agrees to select you as the fourth Jinwei of Jinyang City."

"how about you?"

Jin Li'er did not answer, but said to the attendant: "Go and ask Master Gong to come over, and bring another weapon with him."

The attendant turned away, and soon a middle-aged man who limped and leaned on a stick followed the attendant in. It was Gong Shukang, the judge who had been sitting next to Chang Lun in the past few days. The attendant held a wooden sword in his hand.

Gong Shukang bowed to Jin Lier and stood at the steps of the Plum Blossom Watering Pavilion without coming up.

Chu Xiaomu was puzzled and didn't know what Jin Lier's intention was.

Jin Lier smiled and said, "Although Young Brother Lin defeated Zhou Tenghu and Shi Yuantai, the battle with You Ganzhan did not really determine the winner. This Master Gong is also from my Yunying Palace. His Force martial arts are not much different from You Ganzhan. If you can defeat him, you will truly win this competition and I will support you to become the fourth Golden Lieutenant of my Jinyang City."

Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, "So that's how it is." But what you, Jin Lier, did was a little too frivolous.

Jin Lier asked again: "Brother Lin, what do you think? Do you dare or not?"
