Chapter 53 Old Xu, bring out my Italian cannon!
Niannian picked up the pearl necklace with her chubby little hands, her big eyes sparkling brightly, and she exclaimed in amazement:
Wow, it's so beautiful!
"Niannian, do you like it?" Xu Junyan asked softly, secretly pleased with Niannian's reaction.
It seems there's another chance for antiques from the Guangling period to be found!
However, Niannian did not answer Xu Junyan's question directly. Instead, she pouted and looked at her grandfather sitting to the side.
She knew in her heart that she couldn't agree so easily; she had to see what her grandfather's attitude and opinion were!
Grandpa Fu cleared his throat, coughed twice, then gently gestured with his lips and said to Niannian:
"Niannian, quickly return it to your Grandpa Xu!" Although the necklace was indeed exquisite, it did not suit his taste.
Hearing her grandfather's words, Niannian obediently put the black pearl necklace back into Xu Junyan's box. Then, she slowly stood up and sat down next to her grandfather.
She nervously fidgeted with her fingers, wondering what treasure her grandfather would give to Yun Jing in return.
Upon seeing this, Xu Junyan's expression darkened slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure. He asked in a slightly dissatisfied tone:
"Old Fu, what do you mean by this? Is the gift I gave you not good enough?"
A shrewd glint flashed in Old Master Fu's eyes. He smiled slightly and replied:
“Old Xu, as far as I know, you own quite a few foreign shops, and they even deal in arms.”
He thought to himself that the cold weapons he had given Pei Yunjing before were nothing more than trivial matters...
Hot weapons would be more practical!
!!!
"Are you crazy?! Which company are you trying to bomb? The Gu family? Or the Su family? Even if it's a rival company, you don't have to go this far, do you?"
Xu Junyan stared wide-eyed at Old Master Fu, his voice filled with astonishment and worry.
He knew that Old Master Fu had always harbored resentment towards the Gu and Su families, but he never expected that he would have such an extreme idea.
Xu Junyan hurriedly advised, "Old Fu, stop! This is illegal!" He was extremely anxious because such behavior is a serious violation of the law in China.
I absolutely cannot sit idly by and do nothing; I must resolutely stop Old Man Fu's insane plan!
Looking at Xu Junyan's earnest and lecturing manner, Old Master Fu felt a surge of annoyance and rolled his eyes impatiently.
"Hey, Old Xu, if you don't agree, then forget it! Stop nagging here. Do you really think you're Tang Sanzang? Old Liu, show him out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Liu quickly stepped forward and gestured for Xu Junyan to leave.
Meanwhile, Niannian, like a curious little spectator, looked up first at Grandpa Fu, then at Xu Junyan. Her appearance was so cute that it made people smile.
"Oh my, Grandpa is amazing!" She blinked her big eyes, grinned, and laughed heartily, as if she could already see the funny things that were about to happen.
Upon hearing the words "see the guest out," Xu Junyan's tone softened, seemingly relenting his attitude towards Old Master Fu. He smiled and said:
"Old Fu, I'm doing this for your own good!"
Seeing this, Old Master Fu immediately pressed his advantage and said, "Alright, since that's the case, I won't insist anymore. However, I have a small request now, and I hope you can grant it."
Xu Junyan raised an eyebrow, signaling Old Master Fu to continue.
Grandpa Fu simply held up two fingers, gestured, and then said with a smile:
"I don't need much, just give me two ordinary cannons and a few guns!"
???
cannon??
Does Old Man Fu really understand what he's saying?
Xu Junyan looked at Old Master Fu with suspicion, his mind filled with questions.
However, he didn't reveal it easily, but instead asked tentatively, "You really want to blow them up?"
At the same time, he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't offended Old Man Fu. After all, Fu's Group's ability to quickly go public was also thanks to Old Man Fu's decisive and swift actions, and his forgiving nature.
Because he reported it on the spot!
After hearing this, Old Master Fu smiled dismissively, then winked at Xu Junyan and said softly:
"Don't worry, Old Xu, I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you help me with this, I guarantee the Guangling antiques I give you this time will be even better than the last one!"
He could guarantee with his integrity that he wouldn't give away Pei Yunjing's chamber pot; he would definitely want something decent!

Meanwhile, in ancient times, inside Pei Yunjing's camp...
At this moment, Pei Yunjing and Pei Nanxing were sitting in the tent, discussing the battle with Aruhan that had just ended.
This battle was a resounding victory; they routed the enemy without losing a single soldier.
Pei Nanxing's gaze was deep, as if he were deep in thought. He stared quietly at Pei Yunjing for a while before slowly speaking:
"Based on my past experience, I judge that Aruhan would never be so careless as to underestimate his opponent! I suspect that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes!"
Pei Yunjing was startled by these words. He had been basking in the joy of victory, but Pei Nanxing's words jolted him awake.
Yes, he had long heard that Aru Khan never fought a battle he was not confident of winning, so why was he able to win so easily this time?
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to express himself.
Just then, Gou Sheng suddenly rushed in, ignoring He Qiang and the others' attempts to stop him.
The scene before him was horrifying. Gou Sheng's face was covered in blood, his face, hair, and even his eyes were stained with scarlet blood, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.
His once yellowish clothes were now soaked in blood, emitting a strong, pungent, and nauseating stench of blood.
What's even more striking is that Gou Sheng was tightly clutching a bundle in his arms, which was still dripping blood, as if it contained something terrifying.
Gou Sheng muttered, "I...I want to see the Sixth Prince, I want to see the Sixth Prince..."
He seemed completely lost, his eyes were filled with panic, as if he had lost his sense of direction.
Just then, Gou Sheng's gaze fell on Pei Yun Jing, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a lifeline.
He forcefully broke free from He Qiang's restraints and knelt straight down on the ground with a thud.
Pei Yunjing was completely bewildered by his sudden action and was utterly puzzled.
He frowned and asked in confusion, "Gousheng, what's wrong with you? Did you get into a fight?"
Seeing Gou Sheng covered in blood, a sense of worry arose in my heart.
