Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2131: Chapter 1890: Five Generations, Three Marquises—The Yang Family

"No, no, it’s like this. Doesn’t your place produce mirrors? Do you have ones this big?" Sun Ce spread his arms wide to indicate, almost taller than a person, "I want three of them."

"Are you an idiot? How could they be that big? Most of them already have a tint; only the colorless ones can be made into mirrors. But I’ve never seen such a large piece of glass in all these years," Chen Xi mocked as he watched Sun Ce’s gestures.

Two meters tall, Sun Bofu, it’s amazing you could come up with such an idea. With the current technology, not even a meter can be produced.

The largest they’ve produced so far is just over a meter. A few years ago, the largest was about 60 centimeters, still sitting with Cai Yan. As for anything larger, sorry, it’s not possible to produce.

"Then, how about this big?" By now, Sun Ce was presumably mocked into self-awareness about his intelligence. He showed no special expression after being scolded by Chen Xi and just adjusted his arms to indicate a slightly smaller size.

"Even that doesn’t exist. That’s the limit, and who knows if we can even make three in a year." Chen Xi gestured about five feet, nearly one meter twenty, "If you only want one, that’s possible, but three, I can’t guarantee."

"Haha, then just one for now." Sun Ce just wanted to snatch something from Yuan Shu. As a particularly handsome guy, he naturally knew what women liked, so he planned to buy one from Chen Xi and gift it to the Grand Princess.

But since he planned to give one to the Grand Princess, he thought he might as well get one for his wife, and later maybe even gift one to Zhou Yu to please his own wife.

"Oh, sorry, someone just pre-ordered it. If you want one, you’ll have to wait three months." Chen Xi laughed, saying, would he admit he was planning to offer it to Liu Tong and then use it to snatch something from Yuan Shu?

"Are you looking for a fight?" Sun Ce was immediately displeased.

"Do you think this thing is easy to make?" Chen Xi grumbled to Sun Ce, "If it were easy, how could there only be less than five produced in all these years?"

"True enough." Sun Ce scratched his head, "Forget it, I’ll order two. How much?"

"Two, huh..." Chen Xi thought for a moment. Charging a high price was an option, but so was giving it for free. For them, it’s just a matter of chance; with good luck, they’ll produce one. As for the cost, it’s very low, does manpower even count as a cost here?

"Uh, forget it, let’s just give them to you for free." Chen Xi thought it over and decided to just give them to Sun Ce, considering his impressive performance this morning. Oh, it was pretty good.

"How could I accept this?" Sun Ce replied a bit embarrassed.

"Oh, then I should collect the..." Chen Xi habitually started to say but Sun Ce quickly took off, "Let’s say it’s settled then."

Watching Sun Ce running faster than a rabbit, Chen Xi shook his head speechlessly.

"Looks like you don’t need to step in anymore; someone on Sun Bofu’s side also noticed," Jia Xu said as he watched Sun Ce disappear from sight.

"A rescue is still necessary. Sun Bofu rescuing is Sun Bofu’s business; our rescue is our business. Though the result is the same, the significance differs," Chen Xi chuckled, "Not to mention, having two loyal guys together is actually quite nice."

Compared to Chen Xi, who has a personal connection with the Grand Princess and has already tacitly accepted the situation, the amount of rare treasures needed to smooth things over is far less than the brainless approach of Sun Ce.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Prison, Yang Biao and Yuan Shu were locked up next to each other, separated by solid wood bars, and both had their Inner Qi sealed, rendering them practically useless in a fight.

As for Yang Xiu, he was sent for treatment beforehand, and only after his injuries stabilized would he be imprisoned, which wasn’t exactly by the book, but then again, the Minister of Justice was a member of the Yang Family.

At that time, Yuan Shu had barely spent an hour in the Inner Chamber Secret Prison when someone came to pick him up, giving him quite a scare. But it turned out he was being transferred to the Imperial Prison.

Honestly, if anyone else were thrown into the Imperial Prison, they’d be expecting to meet their end at any moment. But Yuan Shu immediately saw a turning point upon his transfer from the Inner Chamber Secret Prison to the Imperial Prison, especially when he saw his father-in-law there, and instantly guessed he was probably safe.

"Hey, fancy meeting you here, Minister Yang. I thought I’d have to wait a few years in the Nine Springs to see you," Yuan Shu jokingly remarked to Yang Biao after being locked up in the Imperial Prison.

"Bring me a pot of tea," Yang Biao couldn’t be bothered to respond to Yuan Shu. In truth, when Huangfu Song mentioned killing all three clans, Yang Biao knew this matter was going downhill today, and it likely wouldn’t come to fruition.

Very soon, a guard brought Yang Biao a pot of tea, and Yang Biao quietly sipped his tea in Yuan Shu’s direction, instantly making Yuan Shu feel the disparity in their treatment.

"It’s just tea," Yuan Shu sneered while sitting on the ground.

"Just letting you know, your life is in danger here," Yang Biao said quietly after drinking his tea.

"If I die, your whole family is doomed," Yuan Shu replied fearlessly.

"True, no need to go down in flames," Yang Biao nodded in understanding.

"I’m curious, what is your Yang Family up to?" Yuan Shu asked after a moment’s silence, "You could’ve used a Death Spy."
