Ci Jinzhi

After counting, Brother Orion's eyes went straight: "Mother, empress, 20 taels, there are 20 taels!"

The aunt was also shocked: "So many?"

20 What is the concept of two pairs of people like Brother Orion?Anyway, even if Brother Orion's house is turned upside down, he won't be able to get even a tael of money.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Orion can't earn a few taels of silver through hard work over the years, but being able to earn it and being able to save it are completely different.It is no longer easy for poor people to cope with life, not to mention there are always many unexpected expenses.

"Son, we can't accept so many!"

Brother Orion grabbed the bag and ran out. He came back soon and sighed: "I didn't catch up, and I couldn't see anyone."

The Orion eldest brother, mother and son were worried about the 20 taels of silver. The two Jinlin guards were also confused on the way to chase the large army.

"Then what does the aunt mean when she tells us adults not to have babies too early?"

"I don't understand either. Your Excellency doesn't even have a wife."

"Maybe it's just a few words. People of my age like to say this. Let's just tell the truth."

The two of them worked hard and caught up with the team.

King Xiu brought a lot of people with him to the south this time, so the quiet return of the two Jinlin Guards did not attract much attention.

"Sir, it has been delivered."

He Qingxiao nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"That aunt asked me to tell you from my humble position, live a good life and don't give birth to a baby too early."

He Qingxiao was speechless for a while after hearing this.

"grown ups?"

"Go back."

After sending away his two men, He Qingxiao looked at Xin You as if nothing had happened: "Brother Orion and aunt will definitely live a good life. If there is a chance in the future, we will go see them together."

"Ah."

Putting this chapter to rest for now, Xin You waited for the team to stop to rest and went to find King Xiu.

"Is there something wrong with Xin Daizhao?"

"We have entered the territory of Ling County. I have collected some of my subordinates and are waiting here. I want to take them back to the capital to talk to His Highness."

King Xiu smiled and said, "Xin Daizhao does what he wants."

More than an hour later, King Xiu looked at the two hundred bandits, dumbfounded.

"Xin Daizhao——" He slowly turned his head and asked Xin You, "are they all your subordinates?"

Is the "some" in Xin Taizhao's words a bit much?

Xin You nodded calmly: "Yes, both."

King Xiu was silent for a long time and then said thoughtfully: "Xiao Wang remembers that the house given to Xin Daizhao by his father is not big. These people -"

How to raise it?
Xin You smiled: "When I return to Beijing, I plan to buy a larger village and let them farm."

King Xiu resisted the urge to persuade again: "As long as Xin Daizhao has arrangements. The capital is no better than other places. If so many people are not properly accommodated, Xiao Wang will worry about causing trouble for Xin Daizhao."

"Thank you, His Highness King Xiu, for reminding me. I will take note of it."

The team set off again, but the speed was slow because they were pulling more than ten coffins.

King Xiu rode beside Xin You, followed by He Qingxiao and Bai Ying.

"Your Highness went south to look for me. Now that I have returned safely, why don't you take the first step with your Highness to avoid wasting time on the road." Xin You suggested sincerely.

Originally, there were more than [-] people in the team escorting his mother's coffin to Beijing. King Xiu brought about [-] people and added [-] bandits. The team was too large.

King Xiu refused without thinking: "Xiao Wang went south to seek hardships and obey the imperial edict, but he also wanted to do his best for the Queen."

He looked at the young man in white robe with a sincere expression and gentle eyes: "I hope Xin Daizhao will fulfill the little king's wishes." Xin You's hand holding the reins tightened: "His Highness's words have offended the humble minister."

King Xiu was silent for a moment and said softly: "Xin Daizhao doesn't have to be so cautious. In fact, in Xiao Wang's heart, he regards you as his younger brother."

After hearing this, Xin You pursed her lips slightly.

Xiu Wang is becoming more and more difficult to see through.

In his heart, does he really have brotherly feelings for the person who is suspected of being the legitimate prince?

He Qingxiao and Bai Ying, who were more than ten feet behind, also heard King Xiu's words.

Bai Ying tilted her head slightly and stared at King Xiu's back.

It sounds like King Xiu is very friendly to Mr. Xin.

She still remembered her mother's reminder before leaving, regarding Mr. Xin's safety, telling her not to trust anyone easily.

This "anyone", mother and daughter know very well, mainly refers to King Xiu.

Halfway through, it started to rain again, and soon the soft drizzle formed a curtain of beads, hanging between the sky and the earth with no end in sight.

He Qingxiao looked up at the rolling dark clouds and rushed to Xiu Wang's side.

"Your Highness King Xiu, the people sent by Weichen to explore the road just now reported that there is an abandoned temple ahead. Let's rush there to avoid it."

King Xiu glanced at Xin You, who was wearing a bamboo hat, and nodded in agreement.

Xin You, He Qingxiao, Xiu Wang, Bai Ying, plus Wang Gonggong, took some guards and sped up.

After traveling like this for less than a quarter of an hour, a ruined temple appeared in front of us.

The horse was handed over to the guards and the group walked in.

The temple is not big, the Buddha statue has collapsed, spider silk is dangling, and there are many messy mud footprints on the ground, which shows that people passing by have come in to rest.

Bai Ying directed the guards to check inside and outside.When the large army arrived, they took brooms and other items to sweep carefully, and laid out mats for Xin You and others to rest.

The rain didn't stop, there was a roar of thunder, and lightning cut through the black sky like a dragon.

The dilapidated temple was filled with a muddy smell, and water dripped in from the holes in the eaves, making a continuous dripping sound.

"It looks like we're going to spend the night here tonight." King Xiu looked out the temple door with his hands behind his hands.

"My grievance, Your Highness King Xiu."

Xiu Wang smiled at He Qingxiao: "Master Hou, what are you talking about? So many people can only spend the night outside. It's good for Xiao Wang to have tiles to protect him from the rain."

As he spoke, he looked at Xin You with concern in his eyes: "Xin Daizhao, on the other hand, has not fully recovered yet and will suffer tonight."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am in good health."

"His Royal Highness King Xiu, Mr. Xin, Mr. He, please have a bowl of ginger soup to warm your stomach." Bai Ying walked in front, followed by two guards carrying ginger soup.

In front of several people, she tried it with a silver needle and said with a smile: "I watched them cook it."

"Thank you, Miss Bai." Xin You took the ginger soup and took a sip with lowered eyes.

After being caught in the rain and unable to take a shower, I felt much better after drinking a bowl of ginger soup. Even the muddy smell in the ruined temple seemed to be diluted by the spicy ginger flavor.

It was late at night, and Xin You and others closed their eyes to rest. About twenty guards stayed in the temple and kept vigil in two shifts.

Hundreds of people outside took the ruined temple as the center, resting on three floors inside and three outside, building copper and iron walls for protection.

The rain subsided unconsciously, and snoring could be heard outside the temple.The guards in the temple changed shifts and began to be on duty in the middle of the night.

Under this airtight protection, a small snake slipped silently through a gap in the ruined temple, twisted its body and swam flexibly, paused with its head raised and uttered a message, and then headed straight in one direction.

That was exactly the direction Xin You was in.
