C302 Here's something for you

Xuanyuan Changge just did not like to think, and thought that it would be extremely tiring, but it did not mean that she was stupid and ignorant.

She had always known that Lin Mu would step out in the great hall and protect the Mo Bei. Aside from the blood that flowed through his body that made him have to shoulder the responsibility of protecting his country, she also had one more thing in mind, and that was Xuanyuan Changge.

Even if the two of them were to be betrothed since a young age, Princess Shang was still a gift from the imperial family to Lin Mu, and he would eventually become a vassal of the imperial family.

He was an arrogant man who could support both heaven and earth. Naturally, he did not want to be a pretty boy who relied on women to make a living, so he chose to join the army.

Moreover, he hoped that he could win Xuanyuan Changge's hand in marriage rather than through her own efforts.

Xie Qingrong was shocked by the resolution and persistence in Xuanyuan Changge's eyes. A look of surprise flashed past her deep eyes and quickly disappeared. She patted Xuanyuan Changge's shoulder, skipped over the heavy topic she had discussed a moment ago, and said with a smile: "After coming out for a long time, it's time to go back."

Returning to the camp, Xuanyuan Chen, Lin Mu, and Shen Haoxuan were discussing something intensely. It seemed that their opinions had diverged greatly.

Seeing that Xie Qingrong and her wife had returned, Shen Haoxuan immediately waved his fan and pulled on Xie Qingrong's sleeves, muttering to himself, "Royal Concubine, please decide. His Royal Highness had asked me to prepare a hundred thousand men's clothes for the winter in a pigeon message, but he did not give me a single cent! Wouldn't I be losing big time? "

So it was about this matter. Xie Qingrong brushed Shen Haoxuan's hand away from his sleeve and said indifferently: "Since you are working for Your Highness and you are the richest man in the world, it should not be a problem for you to spend some money to buy clothes for these officers and soldiers. Could it be that the rich Shen can't even afford to take out such a small amount of money? "

Xie Qingrong used a method of provocation, Xuanyuan Chen and Lin Mu stood by the side and watched the show.

Unexpectedly, Shen Haoxuan did not fall into his trap, he continuously waved his fan, as though he could not feel the cold, and looked flustered and exasperated. He wanted to fiercely glare at Xie Qingrong, but he remembered the opponent's strange and unpredictable strength, and quickly suppressed this idea.

He reluctantly said, "It's not that I don't want to take out this money. "I've already spent more than half of my fortune preparing the military's salary for the soldiers. If I continue to prepare the clothes for them, I might become a pauper. When the time comes, the richest man in the world will become the pauper."

However, Xie Qingrong was completely unmoved. From her point of view, Shen Haoxuan was taking advantage of the situation to retreat, obviously wanting to take a bit of money from Xuanyuan Chen.

After Xuanyuan Chen had seen enough of the liveliness, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Since Hao Xuan cannot take out silver, then let's take out some silver from this king's private treasury to prepare some military clothing. However, if this duke finds out that Haoxuan is hiding it from me, I'll just have to wait for this king to take back all your little vaults. "

Although the words were threatening, Xuanyuan Chen knew clearly in his heart that Shen Haoxuan was just unwilling to part with the money in his hands. In the end, Shen Haoxuan was just a miser.

In any case, all of the shops under his name were taken care of by Shen Haoxuan, so it didn't seem like the difference if he kept a little more.

Lin Mu snorted coldly as he glared at Shen Haoxuan with disdain. He furiously cursed in his heart at Shen Haoxuan for being a stingy iron rooster, and said righteously, "Unexpectedly, over these many years, not only has your greed not been alleviated, it has instead become more and more severe."

Shen Haoxuan had already received a promise from Xuanyuan Chen's mouth, so he did not take Lin Mu's sarcasm and ridicule to heart at all. He smilingly patted Lin Mu's shoulders and said: "You really understand me."

Lin Mu pursed his lips helplessly.

Xie Qingrong pursed her lips and asked: "Since Your Highness also took out the money for Hao Xuan to use, then when did Hao Xuan start to prepare those clothes for the winter?"

Shen Haoxuan waved his fan and lightly patted his chest. He said arrogantly: "There is no need to be urged by my wife, the moment I receive your message, I will begin preparing. In a few days, all of these clothes will be delivered here."

Sure enough, Shen Haoxuan's goal was just to get the money from Xuanyuan Chen. Although he did not lack that much, with someone willing to pay him back, how could he not?

Xuanyuan Changge finally understood what was going on and rolled her eyes at Shen Haoxuan. She took out the pendant she had bought for Lin Mu at the market and handed it over to him.

Lin Mu stared blankly at the gift in his hand, which was lifted up by a white cloth. His heart was filled with boundless gratitude, and for a moment, he didn't know what he should say to express it.

This was the first time Xuanyuan Changge bought a present for him.

Shen Haoxuan saw that Lin Mu was like a piece of hard wood, he did not know how to react to wind and was somewhat disappointed. He knocked on Lin Mu's head with his folding fan and hatefully said: "Princess Changge has given you a present, what didn't you say?"

Lin Mu opened his mouth, and unexpectedly blurted out: "Thank you."

Shen Haoxuan didn't even have time to look as he used his fan to cover his eyes, almost letting out a wail.

This Lin Mu was really dumb, he had even hinted at it, yet he still could not understand, and said the word 'thank you'!

Even Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong were a little helpless when they saw Lin Mu's reaction.

On the other hand, Xuanyuan Changge narrowed her eyes in a very considerate manner, bent her eyebrows, and said gently: "Quickly open it and take a look. I don't know what you like, so I randomly picked one."

Under everyone's anticipating gaze, Lin Mu opened the white cloth. In the center of the white cloth was a very simple pendant, the body of the pendant didn't have any unnecessary patterns, only a few irregular black lines.

Simple, grand, and simple.

Seeing that, Xuanyuan Changge took a step towards Lin Mu, and hung the pendant on the sword hilt that Lin Mu was wearing.

He whispered, "When you see this pendant in the future, you will think of me."

Lin Mu nodded heavily.

Shen Haoxuan curled his lips in disdain, "Hmph, isn't it just a pendant? With this kind of pendant, how much do you want?"

Xie Qingrong knew that Shen Haoxuan was envious of Xuanyuan Changge's feelings towards Lin Mu, and mercilessly poked at his thoughts, "But this was after all, a pendant that was chosen by Zhang Ge to give to her lover. You do have a dozen of those pendants, but love never seems to send you fans. "

Shen Haoxuan pursed his lips, let out a disdainful sneer, and quickly ran out of the camp. But in the eyes of Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong, they looked like they were fleeing for their lives.

Just then, Xie Qingrong took out a white cloth bag from her pocket and handed it over to Xuanyuan Chen.

Xuanyuan Chen was a little shocked and surprised as well. He asked in disbelief, "This is even given to me?"

Under Xuanyuan Chen's expectant gaze, Xie Qingrong slowly nodded her head.
